Papers on Social Norms & Social Capital
NEP (New Economics
Papers) is a service of free notification of new downloadable
working papers for over 40 specific fields.
The goal is to provide subscribers with up-to-date information
to the research literature: subscribing, you will receive
a weekly e-mail report containing informations (i.e., title,
authors, abstract and link to the full text) on new papers
on social capital and related topics.
• To
receive the reports, a free subscription is required at the
address: http://lists.repec.org/mailman/listinfo/nep-soc.
NEP report service was created as part of the RePEc
(Research Papers in Economics) project, a collaborative effort
of over 100 volunteers in 44
countries to enhance the dissemination of research in
economics. The heart of the project is a decentralized database
containing information on more than 300,000 items:
• 6,200 individual
professionals (their contact information and associated
publications)
• 8,200 institutions
(economics departments, research institutes, and governmental
organizations)
• bibliographic information on 154,000
working papers published by institutions and individuals
• bibliographic citations for 158,000
articles from the leading journals in economics
• bibliographic citations for 900 books
and chapters
• 1,700
software descriptions and programs
RePEc's capabilities are unique in this regard: the RePEc
database links information on the published and unpublished
works of thousands of economists. RePEc promotes scholarly
communication by providing a database that welcomes all providers
of unpublished materials (working papers, discussion papers,
research reports, conference papers) and publishers of journals
(including scholarly societies, commercial and non-commercial
publishers) to place their bibliographic information in the
public domain.
RePEc now collaborates with the American Economic Association's
EconLit
database to provide content from leading universities'
working paper series to EconLit.
RePEc emerged from the NetEc
group, which received support for its WoPEc
project between 1996-1999 by the Joint Information Systems
Committee (JISC) of the UK Higher Education Funding Councils,
as part of its Electronic Libraries Programme (eLib).
Founded in 1993, NetEc is an international academic effort
to improve the communication of Economics via electronic media.
It consists of:
• Information on printed working papers on BibEc,
• Data about electronic working papers on WoPEc,
• World Wide Web resources in Economics on WebEc,
• Jokes about economists and economics on JokEc.
NetEc servers are located at the Department
of Economics of Washington
University in St. Louis, at Manchester
Computing and at Hitotsubashi
University of Tokyo.
