| It was suggested to us by the maintainer of IDEAS at the Universite

|

|
| The PDF files of the Canadian Journal of Economics are prepared
| by our publisher University of Toronto Press. I look after the
| indexing of the files through a database system and access
| management system maintained on a local Unix server.
|
| >
| > 5) Are the researchers aware that their work is disseminated though
| > IDEAS/NEP/WoPEc etc?
|
| The authors publishing in the CJE are probably not fully aware of
| this (except for the more technically-minded colleagues). In
| particular, the fact that the papers are indexed in RePEc is not
| advertised.
|
| >
| > 6) Do you find it difficult/cumbersome to make the updates?
| > What could we do to help you?
|
| At the moment, we are still struggling with simplifying the
| process of collecting the pertinent indexing information from the
| publisher (including abstracts and JEL codes). Regretfully, our
| publisher UTP has not been all that helpful, in we are considering
| switching to another publisher.

|
|
| Thanks for the invitation. I'm indeed passing through London
| in two weeks on a brief trip to U Essex in Colchester, but I'll
| have to take a rain check this time as I'm quite in a hurry.
|
| Keep up the good work!

| Thanks for the email - v useful. I'll check out the archive maintenance

|
| Your questionnaire:

|
| Dr Andy Dickerson, apd@ukc.ac.uk
|
|
| > 2) How would you describe your function? ("academic faculty",
| > "researcher", "computing officer", "publications officer",
| > "secretary", "student" etc).
|
| I am a full-time lecturer in Economics - "academic faculty" I guess. One of
| my tasks within the department is to edit our discussion paper series, and
| disseminate the research. So I am also the "publications officer" too I guess.
|
| > 3) Briefly describe how your RePEc archive was initiated.
| > For example: who had the idea, why did you open the archive...
|
| You wrote to us some time ago when it was all beginning - and the previous
| editor of the discussion paper series did nothing about it! You then
| contacted us again, and as the new editor, I decided that it would be a
| good idea to join - especially since so many other similar institutions to
| ourselves were also members of the archive. We were also concerned about
| the increasing printing and mailing costs - we send about 250 copies of
| every discussion paper we produce worldwide. As yet, we have not reduced
| our mailing of our DPs, but given the interest that we are getting in the
| papers that we have electronically produced on the archive (we receive
| about 10 requests per week for papers which are not downloadable directly
| form the archive - either they are "old" and so I do not have them
| electronically, or the person requesting the paper cannot download it for
| some reason) - and, of coruse, our recent papers (since last year) are now
| all available to download from my ftp site. Hence, I suspect that within
| the next year, I will drastically cut our mailing to only UK institutions.
| So another advantage of RePEc has been the further dissemination of our
| research (we get regular requests from China, Philppines, India, Bangladesh
| etc etc countries where there are probably very few library copies of our
| printed DPs).
|
| > 4) Briefly describe how the archive is maintained.
| > For example: who is involved in maintaining it, do you update the
| > files regularly, how do you collect the data...
|
| I receive about 20 research papers per annum from my colleagues, which I
| comment on, they revise, and then I edit to put in our standard format. I
| then send them to be printed, and at the same time, "publish" the paper on
| our archive. It is therefore available electronically a few days before we
| have printed copies to send out to our mailing list. I basically do it all
| as part of being the discussion paper editor.
|
| >From Janaury next year, we will have a new discussion paper editor - my
| term of office is coming to an end.
|
| > 5) Are the researchers aware that their work is disseminated though
| > IDEAS/NEP/WoPEc etc?
|
| Yes - and once a year I try to remind them by (i) reporting on the
| attention we receive by email for our papers - much more than when we only
| had printed copies (and sent them only to 250 institutions) (ii) remining
| them of the home page address for WoPEc.
|
| > 6) Do you find it difficult/cumbersome to make the updates?
| > What could we do to help you?
|
| Not really - I can do every thing from my desk either at home or in the
| office. I edit the template file using a basic text editor (PDF), and cut
| and paste bits like the abstract from the final version of the discussion
| paper. It takes only a couple of minutes. I then update the archive, and
| copy the new version, together with the pdf version of the paper across to
| my ftp site.
|
| I am slightly concerned what happens when the new discussion paper editor
| takes over - my public ftp site where the papers are held is exclusive to
| me as far as write access is concerned. The new editor will have to set up
| his own - but then our papers will reside in two different places and I
| don't think this is allowed ... I guess I could copy all the papers from my
| site to his, and then change the ukcarch.rdf file to reflect this new
| address. But I will also have to change all the File-URL addresses in the
| file describing each paper ... global replace I guess!!
|
| Many thanks for the excellent service -
|
| best wishes

|

|
| Altough we knew about the existence of RePEc some time ago,
| we didn't have the time nor the computing resources needed to
| mantain an archive. We decided to join RePEc after a conversation
| with a professor from other department. I think he knew about

|
| The main objective is to give greater dissemination to the working

|

|
| Everyone who produces a working paper has instructions on how to
| format the abstract in order to be included in RePEc. In addition,
| there is a person in charge of revising these abstracts, and finally, I
| am in charge of the technical part of mantaining the WWW/FTP

|
| Actually, I lived in London for one year, while at LSE, 7 years ago. I
| might also take you to my favourite indian place, if it's still open.
| But no plans of going to London in the medium term. Thanks,

|
| Frederic Udina, first mantainer of the repec files in DEE-UPF (and

| Current mantainer is Sergio Fernandez (suport.econ@grup.upf.es)
|
| 2) How would you describe your function? ("academic faculty",

|
| Frederic Udina is professor, computer resources coordinator in the dept.
| Sergio Fernandez is computer technical suport in the dept.
| Also, some people in secretary office are involved in updating the files.
|
| 3) Briefly describe how your RePEc archive was initiated.
| For example: who had the idea, why did you open the archive...
|
| I remember your travel to BCN. At the time you were not able to
| automatically update your database from our files, so the project was
| delayed. Some weeks later someone in my dept warned me that it was already
| working, so I contacted you and your excelent coleagues and it was all
| quite easy. We spent some money to pay a programmer to do shell script
| that converts our file formats to yours.
|
|
| 4) Briefly describe how the archive is maintained.
| For example: who is involved in maintaining it, do you update the
| files regularly, how do you collect the data...
|
| Secretaries update our files. Technical staff do run a script regularly to
| update the file you download. Data come from our regular working paper
| archive.
|
|
| 5) Are the researchers aware that their work is disseminated though
| IDEAS/NEP/WoPEc etc?
|
| Yes. They are happy with it.
|

|

|
| Right now, I'm the only one involved in maintaining it. I update the files
| regularly. I get the data directly from the authors or from the research
| institutes internet sites. I may hand the job down to people within the
| various research institutes.

|
| Well, I think there are various degrees of awareness about it. Most know

| things on the internet. Some simply don't want to have anything to do with
| the internet.

| It's not hard to make updates. Prior to this email, it was infeasible to

| correct them is a great idea.

|
| We have a WWW-Submission Form that is filled in by
| authors. (http://www.sfb504.uni-mannheim.de/submit) The form generates
| a temporary entry a database as well as a mail to one of several
| senior professors (selected in the form) who has to sign it. This
| signed piece of paper goes to our secretary who then uses a different
| WWW form to shift the submitted paper to the working paper archive
| (http://www.sfb504.uni-mannheim.de/publications/). From this database
| the ReDiF database is generated.
|
| Our students do most of the programming of the scripts (I do some as
| well), authors fill in the details of their papers themselves (which
| some find annoying and complain about).

|
| Once the WWW scripts are written workload is relatively low.

| Dear Thomas,
| yesterday I added two new working papers to the archive that I maintain:
| http://www.al.unipmn.it/~segrsp/Fac_Scienze_Politiche_II/pubbl/RePEc/uca/
| I am joining to the mailing list for administrators. I have checked
| ftp://netec.mcc.ac.uk/pub/RePEc/help/uca
| and it seems to me that everything is all riaght (but please tell me if I
| am wrong).
| I have seen that our working paper have been announced just once. Does it
| depends on the description of the archive, on the classification indicated
| by the papers themselves, or on the choices of the responsibles of the
| mailing lists?
|
| Here are my answers to the questionnaire:
|
| > 1) Please give us your name and personal email address.

| System administrator (LAN)
| > 3) Briefly describe how your RePEc archive was initiated.
| > For example: who had the idea, why did you open the archive...
| >Professor Carla Marchese was a subscriber of Netec mailing lists and she
| asked me to make the working papers of her Department available in the
| Repec system. The aims of our participation are to spread out the results
| of our researches and to keep in touch with other research centers.
| > 4) Briefly describe how the archive is maintained.
| > For example: who is involved in maintaining it, do you update the

| People involved in maintaining the archive are Carla Marchese and me. As
| soon as I receive a Word or a Scientific Workplace (Latex) version of a new
| Working Paper, I convert it in Pdf format and I publish it on the WEB. Then
| I update the file whatever.rdf of Repec.

| Yes, they are aware.

| At the beginning it was difficult for me to understand how to make the

| Dear Thomas Krichel,
|
| Here are the answers to your questions:
|
| 1. Marianne Tange, email: mtange@econ.au.dk
|
| 2. Secretary.
|
| 3. Our Head of the Institute, Svend Hylleberg, asked me to find out how to
| join RePEc.
|
| 4. I am maintaining the archive, but when I have some questions or problems
| I contact Jens Asschenfeld with whom you have been corresponding. Actually,
| he came to my office some weeks ago and told me about the 'error' facility.
| But I have not yet had the time to look at it. As for the updating of the
| archive I simply via FTP transfer the information from my own folder called
| RePEc to the RePEc archive every time a new working paper is published at
| our department, but if there is an easier way to do it please let me know.
|
| 5. I think that some of our researchers are aware of it, but I could send
| everybody an email to inform them about it.
|
| 6. If the updates only include to transfer information to RePEc as I have
| done up till now, I do not find it difficult.
|
| Sincerely,
|
| Marianne Tange

|
| 1) Roger Crawford (roger.crawford@qeh.ox.ac.uk)
|
| 2) IT Support Officer for Queen Elizabeth House (department of the
| University of Oxford dealing with Development Studies and Development
| Economics)
|
| 3) We had already put some working papers on the Web and a new member of
| the academic staff who was familiar with IDEAS, suggested we should try
| and have our papers added to the archive to increase their exposure.
|
| 4) Our archive consists a series on working papers made available on the
| web in PDF format. The papers represent work in progress at Queen
| Elizabeth House. The decision about which papers to make available is
| taken by a member of the academic staff. I am responsible for turning the
| papers into PDF format and putting in the FTP archive (which I
| maintain).
|
| 5) Yes
|
|
| 6) The updates seem easy and straightforward (assuming I am doing them
| right). We don't have that many papers at the present time (c 25) with
| additional papers only coming out at the rate of about 2 a month. We do
| have a much larger working paper series which we run in conjuction with an
| Italian institution, however the administration is handled by the Italian
| side at the moment and it is not clear which of us is going to responsible
| for making these papers available on the web.

| Dear Thomas - in reply to your email request for details:
|
| 1. Rachel Cameron at R.Cameron@hw.ac.uk
| 2. publications officer
| 3. Our RePEc archive was initiated by Alan Bevan - a CERT research
| assistant, who found the archive whilst researching a subject and
| passed on the details to me of how to set it up after he had some
| discussion with yourself(?).
| 4. The archive is maintained by me - whenever I produce a CERT
| discussion paper, I then format it for our own discussion paper
| archive and then update the RePEc file on the ftp server. I also send
| all papers and abstracts to the SSRN network.
|
| 5. Probably individual authors of our dps are not aware of the other
| benefits of putting their paper on your archive. If you had any
| promotional material I could distribute that to them whenever I issue
| a dp?
|
| 6. Now that the system has been set up, I find the updates very
| simple - there are probably still some hitches to iron out in how the
| abstracts are formatted but I think we sorted out the major one at

| I leave the department this summer. Johanne Perron will maintain the
| archive but have little technical knowledge.
|
| A suggestion. I know that you're not directly in charge of IDEAS, but I
| would suggest a new search engine.
|
| I find Excite not really useful for some specific requests. It's not easy
| to look for papers published exclusively after 1995...

| Hi Thomas,
|
| Thanks for your email reminder! My apologies for not replying sooner.
|
| I have corrected the error that was listed in the shz.rech file. Thank you
| for notifying me.
|
| In response to your questions:
|
| 1. Donna Wong, donna.wong@ubc.ca
|
| 2. Econometrics Analyst
|
| 3. The archive was brought to our attention by Christian Zimmermann. We
| visited
| the archive site and we thought adding SHAZAM files to the site would be
| a
| great idea. Thus, we are on board now.
|
| 4. The archive was created by me with Christian's help. The files do not get
| updated
| regularly as these files contain programming examples utilizing the
| SHAZAM
| econometrics computer program. These same examples can be found in the
| SHAZAM User's Reference Manual Version 8.0.
|
| 5. Yes, the software developer, Kenneth J. White, approved our listing with
| RePEc archive.
|
| 6. I have not yet made any updates to the archive but I don't anticipate it
| would be
| a problem. I just have to remember where things are stored and how the
| update
| and/or errors need to be corrected. I have seemed to correct the error
| without any
| problems.
|
| Thanks for the kind offer! I will let you know if I make it to London.
|
| Cheers,
| Donna

| Ich habe schon laenger die Suchfunktionen von REPEC genutzt, um an die
| neuesten Paper zu kommen. Zunaechst wollte ich nur ein
| eigenes Paper ueber Marco Catenaro, den ich in Paris kennengelernt hatte,
| ueber die University of Surrey ins Netz stellen.
| Das gab aber Probleme. Dann kam die Idee, ein eigenes Archiv in Siegen
| aufzubauen.
| Anfangs dachte ich, dass das zu schwer sei. Das hat sich aber schnell
| geaendert. Die Dokumentation war so gut, dass es leicht aufzubauen war.

| Herr Dr. Andreas Wagener und ich betreuen das Archiv. Wir geben jetzt
| den Autoren ein Template an die Hand, dass sie selbst ausfuellen und an uns
| zuruecksenden. Wir stellen es dann nach einer kurzen Ueberpruefung ins
