Abstract

This paper presents and analyses “NEP: New Economics Papers”, the current awareness service
of the RePEc digital library. NEP is a human-mediated service. New items arriving in RePEc are examined
by editors of subject-specific reports. This paper introduces NEP from a conceptual point of view and
communicates how NEP fits into the evolving world of digital libraries. We then present summary statistics
for the performance of NEP. We pay particular attention to the coverage ratio, and the redundancy of
reports. Suggestions for improving the performance of NEP are discussed.
