Thank you.
BTW, I have set up processes on modin to help with the calculations
on katri. This works via NFS mount. Thus I'm freening resources on
katri and raising the amount of processes running to do the
calculations from 8 to 10.

Send me a user name you want to have and an ssh public key. I will
give you access to the box where the data is being held. Then we
can arrange for a call to discuss.

One would need snapshots of RAS data. I have some of these.

Holy cow! That's sounds very serious.

Upon investigation, this paper appear to be neither in Oates profile

I don't have evidence yet. For any paper that would establish a
link, your co-authors have to have claimed it. This was part of the
reasons for doing CollEc: get authors to ask their co-authors to
register and maintain their profiles.
> Is there some way to fix it?
Yes, contact your co-authors to ask them to add the paper
to their profiles.
Note that CollEc updates slowly because of the huge amount of
calculations required; but if you get a new connection you should
see your ranking increase over the space of about a month. Yes, it
takes that long.

Does CollEc handle the removal of links between authors? The reason I ask
is that the Journal of Economic Literature was previously indexing all
authors of book reviews within the same issue as co-authors. I got them to
stop that, but some authors have in the meanwhile claimed articles that
are now being dropped.

I just restructured this to allow for hourly updates.
Something went missing in my link jungle
adrepec@tebuk:~$ cd ftp/

adrepec@tebuk:~/ftp$ cd CollEc
adrepec@tebuk:~/ftp/CollEc$

The data is now read from katri

Just to let you guys know we jumped over the 25k mark for
the network examined by CollEc yesterday. I have updated
the CollEc homepage.

This has had a positive feedback on CollEc where total nodes climed
by probably somethnig like 300 through the period.

We have had a sponsor. I have moved the CollEc service to
a Hetzner EX-4.
On the RePEc home page, since CollEc does not have a logo, can we
have the name in big and bold, and link to the sponsor
sponsored by <a href="http://symplectic.co.uk/">Symplectic</a>.

The software is called icanis. CollEc is an instance of icanis.
It lives at http://collec.repec.org/

I will be happy to give you access to the icanis system at the
front machine, rishu. Getting to the back end machine is a bit
more involved because it is behind a firewall in my NY office,
but I can set something up. Maybe you can give me another
machine to do the calculations, and we can move.
My intention is to add a "// interface" that will give full
access to the software from a web interface. This is not done
yet.

You could sponsor a server that runs
http://collec.repec.org
It needs to have high computational capacity but it can
run on small disk space. We will be please to acknowledge the
sponsorship.
