Why should I register with the RePEc Author Service?
The RePEc Author Service allows you to create a profile that links your publications to your name and institutional affiliation. You will be provided with a monthly report of abstract views and downloads of your publications through the RePEc system. Citations and downloads will only be attributed to the department if the paper authors are registered with the RePEc Author Service. I am worried that I will be plagiarized if I place my paper online. I think the contrary is true. Online publication makes stealing your ideas without credit harder for journal and proposal referees and others.
