Home of the RePEc Input Service

Purpose

This service provides the opportunity for institutions to participate in RePEc even if they are unable to provide metadata in the standard way, that is by opening a RePEc archive. This service is meant to be a last resort. This service only hosts the metadata about these working papers and journal articles, not the full texts. Individuals should use MPRA.

Registering for the RePEc Input Service

To participate, please send the following information to us, along with the reason you cannot use the standard method of indexing your publications.
