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.

Other similar services

Similar services are provided elsewhere. If you qualify, use them:

If you are in Scandinavia, use S-WoPEc or S-WoBA
For US Federal Reserve Banks, use Fed-in-Print
In France, you have the option to use HAL
If you are in Agricultural Economics, use AgEcon Search
If you are in Germany, participate in EconStor.

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. Be aware, that unlike the standard method where you can batch load your metadata, on the RePEc Input Service you are indexing every item individually through online forms. This is laborious.

4. The WP-coordinator (the person responsible for the administration and data input of the series). Name and e-mail address.
5. The appropriate way to write the number of a working paper, e.g. 98/01, 345, or 2004-02. Eligible formats are: N, XN, YYYYSN, YYSN, NSYYYY, NSYY, where N is an incrementable number, X is any string, YYYY or YY is a year and S is a (possibly empty) separator (please specify separator).
