The team

Implicitly, the RePEc team is huge, as it encompasses all the volunteers of RePEc, including all archive maintainers as well as other helpful people. Here, we wish to give some background information about the people most involved in this undertaking.

José Manuel Barrueco Cruz

JMBC is librarian at the University of Valencia in Spain. He has been involved very early in WoPEc (now defunct) and has written a large chunk of the software used for the first versions of IDEAS as well. He also built some of the initial critical mass in online papers by simply surfing the net and adding material to RePEc. He is now mostly involved in CitEc, which provides citation analysis of the works listed in RePEc.

Christopher F. Baum

Kit is Professor of Economics and Social Work at Boston College. He has been instrumental in coding scripts that produce RePEc materials from web-based working paper and journal article listings for a number of RePEc series, including some of the major commercial publishers that participate in RePEc. Kit proposed the inclusion of software components in RePEc, and manages the largest archive of software components (to which he often contributes Stata components for time series econometrics). He also does publicity for RePEc, is the proprietor of the repec.org domain, and he responds to our hotline.

Sune Karlsson

Sune is Professor of Statistics at Orebrö University on Sweden. He runs the Swedish Working Paper Archive, SWoPEc, one of the founding members of RePEc. He is also in charge of the scripts used for updating the database contents of most RePEc participants. He is in charge of LogEc, which houses lots of statistics about RePEc, and of EconPapers. He finally maintains a set of web-based tools that help archive maintainers with the accuracy of the data they contribute.

Thomas Krichel

Thomas is the one who started it all, before most of us even knew about the web. While Lecturer of Economics at the University of Surrey in 1993, he set up NetEc, the precursor to RePEc. He coordinates many activities and maintains the protocols we use. He is also our liaison to related initiatives in other disciplines. He currently also maintains the software for NEP and the RePEc Author Service, in addition to being the system administrator to several machines.

Stan Miles

Marco Novarese

Marco is researcher at the University of Piemonte Orientale (Italy). He directs NEP, in particular recruits and selects its editors.

Féthy Mili

Féthy is documentalist at the departments of Economics and of Industrial Relations of the University of Montreal.

He started the popular but now defunct Economics Working Paper Archive (EconWPA), whose listings were also included in NetEc, and then RePEc, very early on.
