English abstract

The RePEc Economics library offers the largest distributed source of freely downloadable scientific research reports in the world. WoPEc is a user services of that library. It operates on the Internet since 1993. It has a well-established user community, and a relatively narrow subject coverage. In this paper, we wish to find out which papers in the collection are similar through usage. The idea is that if different users request a couple of papers consistently together, then these papers are likely to correspond to the same information needs. They are similar in this sense. We present a theoretical discussion of these relationships and an empirical assessment. We introduce a measure of co-usage and estimate results for the WoPEc user service.

Spanish abstract

La biblioteca digital RePEc ofrece la mayor fuente distribuida de documentos cientificos disponible actualmente en el mundo. Su arquitectura se basa en la distincion entre proveedores de datos y proveedores de servicios. WoPEc es uno de estos proveedores de servicios al usuario final que està a funcionando desde 1993. En esta comunicacion on intentamos determinar que documentos en la coleccion tienen un contenido similar a traves del estudio de los accesos de los usuarios. La idea es que si diferentes usuarios acceden a una pareja de documentos repetidas veces, entonces dichos documentos deberian responder a la misma necesidad de informacion. Presentamos una discusion teorica de este tipo de relacion asì como una demostracion practica. Para ello introducimos una medida que denominamos de co-uso y la aplicamos a los usuarios que han accedido el servicio WoPEc.
