Ideas Repec

The IDEAS/RePEc icon represents the comprehensive online database for economics research papers and publications, serving as the central hub for discovering working papers, journal articles, and economic research worldwide. This symbol identifies the largest open access economics bibliography maintained through the collaborative RePEc (Research Papers in Economics) network.

In economics research workflows, academics search IDEAS to discover the latest working papers from institutions like NBER and CEPR before journal publication. Graduate students track economists' publication records through IDEAS author pages, while economics departments monitor their faculty's research visibility using RePEc rankings that have become influential metrics in the economics profession.

From an economics infrastructure perspective, this icon signifies more than just a paper database - it represents the discipline-specific approach to open access predating broader movements, enables comprehensive tracking of economics research regardless of publication venue, and provides the authoritative source for understanding research lineages and intellectual networks in economics. This distinction helps users recognize IDEAS/RePEc as essential infrastructure unique to economics research discovery.

Ideas Repec is one of 158 icons in Academicons, made by James Walsh and released under Open Font License. It is drawn on a 384 × 512 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds IdeasRepecIcon to components/icons/academicons-ideas-repec.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed IdeasRepecIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Ideas Repec icon, or any of 158 Academicons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 384 × 512 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Ideas Repec", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. IdeasRepecIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <IdeasRepecIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. The Open Font License allows commercial use; the icons can't be sold on their own. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: Open Font License only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Academicons, James Walsh and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are database, research and economics. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Ideas Repec in another set.
