[RePEc-announce] RePEc in August 2004

[Christian Zimmermann]

Hello all!

While traffic has been rather light on RePEc sites, new and exciting 
developments have occured in the past month:

- The citation analysis at CitEc has made a lot of progress lately, which 
allows us to publish comprehensive rankings for many categories. See
http://ideas.repec.org/top/

- Checking the syntax of templates has become now much simpler with a new 
interactive tool. See http://econpapers.hhs.se/scripts/redifcheck.pl

- The World Bank now joined RePEc. Thus, only very few of the top research 
outlets in RePEc are not yet participating in RePEc.

There have been 235,823 file downloads and 941,557 abstract views in 
August 2004. During this month, the following thresholds have been passed:

400 chapters
400 online chapters
1000 software components with abstracts
