[RePEc-announce] RePEc in August 2016

['Christian Zimmermann']

August has always been a period of calm in RePEc, and it was no different 
this year. We welcomed only three new participating archives: Sociedade 
Brasileira de Finanças, Groupe Editions Academiques Internationales, 
University of Navarra (II). We counted 405,701 file downloads and 
1,907,803 abstract views. However, a major overhaul of MyIDEAS was 
completed, and we launched an initiative to significantly increase the 
coverage of citation analysis at CitEc. Finally, we reached a surprising 
number of milestones:

150,000,000 cumulative article abstract views
4,000,000 cumulative book chapter abstract views
1,300,000 listed articles
1,250,000 articles available online
500,000 cited articles
750,000 items with extracted and matched references
10,000 indexed blog posts on EconAcademics.org
7,500 indexed serials
500 RePEc-wide h-index (reached a couple of months ago)
