EconStor now includes an AI filtering system blog.econstor.eu/2025/08/econ...

EconStor Usage Statistics June 2025. It is increasingly difficult to draw a realistic image of the actual use of all EconStor documents by humans. The accesses to EconStor by aggressive AI bots are distorting the download statistics considerably. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

We are glad to have the CASMEF Working Paper Series new on EconStor. Find out more here: blog.econstor.eu/2025/07/new-...

The authors conclude: "...that the subject of economics should be made more attractive to European students. This can only be achieved by reforming the incentive structure for education and the merit system for higher positions." (p. 9) What is your take on this subject? (3/3)

The authors "...provide a critical analysis of the adoption of the US "top-five model" by European economics academia..." (2/3)

We tend to disagree. As pointed out by Xie et al. (2021) "No peer review is not equivalent to no quality control" arxiv.org/abs/2102.090...

DOGE order leads to journal cancellations by U.S. agricultural library www.science.org/content/arti... "The move appears to drop nearly 400 of the library’s roughly 2000 journals, ... —but curiously none from the world’s three largest scientific publishers, all of which are for-profit."

This is a good development. The number of economists registered with RePEc on Twitter, Bluesky and Mastodon indicate that there is still room for improvement: TWITTER 3,164 ideas.repec.org/i/etwitter.h... BlusSky 1,205 ideas.repec.org/i/ebluesky.h... Mastodon 406 ideas.repec.org/i/emastodon....
