[RePEc-announce] RePEc in December 2024 and a look back at Year 2024

[Christian Zimmermann]

We concluded the year by reaching a major milestone, 70,000 registered
authors, which is triple the membership of the largest professional
organization in Economics. We also launched a new service for Bluesky
users, as now all NEP reports can be followed there now. Other options are
email, RSS, and Mastodon. Authors already had the option to add their
Bluesky handle to their profile.

In regular news, we welcomed a couple of new archives: Drexel University
and Journal of Sustainable Development Issues. We counted during the month
327,978 file downloads and 1,426,598 abstract views. And we reached the
following milestones:
12,000,000 cumulative abstract views for books
70,000 registered authors

Now regarding the year as a whole. We counted 4,721,574 file downloads and
18,772,300 abstract views. Note that this is only a partial picture, as not
all RePEc services provide auditable traffic data. 30 new RePEc archives
joined. Along with over 2100 extant archives, they added 100 working papers
series, 45,000 working papers, 120 journals, 200,000 articles, 130 new
software components, 2,500 new books and 20,000 new book chapters (numbers
rounded). 3,500 new authors registered, and their profiles include 125,000
more works than 12 months ago.

2025 is expected to be a busy year for RePEc. We will continue to provide
services to the Economics professions thanks to our volunteers. Beyond this
we hope to launch a new initiative, stay tuned by following this blog.
