AgEcon Search: Evolution of a Subject Repository

In the 20 years since its inception, the AgEcon Search repository has evolved into a trusted disciplinary resource connecting an international community of researchers. It is the home of conference papers, working papers, and journals from nearly every major international and national (USA) applied and agricultural economics association. As members of this community, our close affiliation with their societies has led to complementary relationships with publishers as well, with over 70 journals currently hosted by AgEcon Search. We attend professional conferences around the world to build the AgEcon Search community by forging new relationships, which frequently results in new content.

This repository demonstrates an evolving “repository ecosystem”, connecting researchers and their associations, publishers, and related disciplinary repositories (e.g. the USDA National Agricultural Library repository being built in response to new U.S. Federal mandates) and indexes (e.g. RePEc –Research Papers in Economics http://repec.org/). We want our community members to have a home for their data (linking to Dataverse), and are investigating the addition of DOIs for articles and ORCID identifiers for authors. With over 70,000 papers, growth of 40% over the last two years, and downloads exceeding 6 million in 2013, we continue to improve services and expand our user community.
