[RePEc-announce] RePEc in January 2011

[Christian Zimmermann]

The big news this month is that RePEc now indexes over one million items. 
We RePEc started, it was not imaginable that so many works would be 
listed. To see the evolution over the 13 years of RePEc, see the last blog 
post.

Over this last month, 743,140 file downloads and 2,469,187 abstract views 
were counted. Remarkably, while articles have been outnumbering working 
papers for quite some time in the database, last month they also 
outnumbered in terms of traffic for the first time. This shows how much 
more popular working papers are. Also, we welcomed 6 new archives: Ural 
Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, Society for Promotion of Business 
Information Technology, Zeitschrift für Nachwuchswissenschafler, European 
University at St. Petersburg, INFORMS, and Cankaya University.

Finally, the monthly thresholds reached:
80000000 cumulative article abstract views
1500000 cumulative book chapter abstract views
1000000 listed works
