“…A simple way to assess the target theory empirically is to see if the coverage ratio declines with the size of a nep‐all issue. Barrueco Cruz, Krichel and Trinidad (2003) have a cross‐sectional plot of coverage ratio versus size of nep‐all. The shape of their plot suggests that this seems to be the case.…”

“…As more and more subject reports have been added, we expect the coverage ratio to improve over time, and in the longer run to reach 100%. Surprisingly, the data reported by Barrueco Cruz, Krichel and Trinidad (2003) suggest that the coverage ratio has not been improving as more reports have been added, and that certainly remains well below 100%.…”

“…Chu and Krichel (2003) find that NEP is an interesting service model for digital libraries. Barrueco Cruz, Krichel, and Trinidad (2003) present a simple empirical assessment of the NEP service. One of the issues they look at is the subject coverage of NEP as a whole.…”

a current awareness service for recent additions to RePEc. The service is run by volunteer editors. They filter new additions to RePEc into subject-specific reports. The intended purpose of this current awareness service is to filter papers by subject matter without any judgment of their academic quality. We use binary logistic regression analysis to estimate the probability of a paper being included in any of the subject reports as a function of a range of observable variables. Our analysis suggests that, contrary to their own claims, editors use quality criteria. These include the reputation of the series as well as the reputation of the authors. Our findings suggest that a current awareness service can be used as a first step of a peer-review process.

“…The exchange touched on the emergence of anecdotal evidence suggesting that an increasing number of working papers in nep‐all were not being distributed. In light of this discussion, the first empirical assessment of NEP's performance took place (Barrueco Cruz et al 2003). Its focus was estimating the coverage ratio.…”

“…The expectation was that as the number of subject reports grew there would be an improvement in the coverage ratio over time. But instead the coverage ratio remained static at around 70 per cent, which highlighted a “serious problem of coverage” (Barrueco Cruz et al , 2003). Using a graph for data available between July 1998 and August 2002, this illustrated that the coverage ratio seemed to be negatively related to the size of nep‐all.…”

PurposeApplications of information technology have been directly responsible for the increase in productivity of business, government and academic activities. Business and management historians have yet to contribute to better understanding such processes. This paper aims to address this shortcoming through the internal and organisational history of a system for speedy, online distribution of recent additions to the broad literatures on economics and related areas called NEP: New Economic Papers.Design/methodology/approachThis is a first person account (partly autobiographical) which also includes interviews and the use of archived e‐mail correspondence.FindingsThe advent of the internet promised a revolutionary change by democratising the social institutions related to the creation and dissemination of academic knowledge. Instead, this story tells how participants slowly but steadily tended to replicate established institutions.Social implicationsThis paper provides a story of the NEP project and shows how one person's drive could generate a broader community of volunteers (constituted by a large number of academics and practitioners who provide critical support for its functioning). The paper provides details of the social and technological challenges for the construction of the technological platform as well as the evolution of its governance.Originality/valueThere is no historiography in business and management history on how to deal with changes in archived material resulting from the application of information and telecommunication technologies. Given the rate of change for events in the third industrial revolution, this paper shows it is possible and indeed relevant to document events in the recent past.
