Rsync is the quickest way to get RePEc data. As to the format, you have choices.
| type | example | 
|---|---|
| ReDIF data | rsync -va --delete rsync://rsync.repec.org/RePEc-ReDIF/ RePEc | 
| RePEc AMF | rsync -va --delete --exclude .oai rsync://rsync.repec.org/RePEc-AMF/ RePEc | 
| CitEc AMF | rsync -va --delete rsync://rsync.repec.org/CitEc-AMF/ RePEc | 
| RePEc OAI-DC | rsync -va --delete --exclude .oai rsync://rsync.repec.org/RePEc-OAI-DC/ RePEc | 
We also have some data that is derived from RePEc
| data | example | 
|---|---|
| ArchEc vault | rsync -av rsync://archec.repec.org/vault/ vault | 
| ArchEc plind | rsync -av rsync://archec.repec.org/plind/ plind | 
| ArchEc drift | rsync -av rsync://archec.repec.org/drift/ drift | 
| CollEc centrality | rsync -av rsync://collec.repec.org/centrality/ centrality | 
| Legacy CollEc paths | rsync -va --exclude inter --exclude notes rsync://legacy.collec.repec.org/paths/ paths |
