The thesaurus helps you to find terms related to your topic. Use the STW, for instance to rephrase your search to make it more general using broader terms, or to specify it with the help of narrower terms. In addition, the STW automatically adds translations and synonyms to your search terms. A search for "knowledge economy" thus also finds publications on "information economy".

Since version 9.12, the STW is available for download under the CC-BY 4.0 license, so that it can be reused by other organizations worldwide.

A current “spotlight" shines a light on energy supply. At the beginning of October, there was a guest post for the OstBib blog on economic literature about the war against Ukraine (in German). New publications on the topic are added daily on the EconBiz Author Profiles beta topic page on Ukraine.

In addition, there is a Dossier on Ukraine (in German) by the journal Wirtschaftsdienst. The Wirtschaftsdienst editors also co-organized a conference  in Vienna on economic consequences of the war. The journal Intereconomics discusses multiple crises in current articles.

Would you like to find out more about them? Check out their Author Profiles on EconBiz to discover their research:

• Ben Bernanke
• Douglas Diamond
• Philip Dybvig

EconBiz Author Profiles is one of our beta services that allows you to find information on authors in economics and business studies. It includes information on the authors’ bio and affiliations, on their research topics, publications and citation numbers, as well as on their co-authors and related authors. A tag cloud makes it easy to navigate the list of publications by research topic and see connections to other topics and authors.  

A drop-down-list at the top of the page offers insight into all laureates since 1969. The Nobels Topic Page showcases laureates and topics in a synopsis.

For more on this topic, see also the Spotlight on current issues in economics: The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2022: Ben S. Bernanke, Douglas W. Diamond and Philip Dybvig

The kits were first published in 2019 and have been regularly updated and enhanced with new content since. In our newest 2022 version we added more links to useful tools and started a new section on gender equality in economics.

Would you like to support early career researchers at your institution? The Academic Career Kits are published as Open Educational Resources (OER) under an open license (CC-BY). That means, you can easily embed them into your own website or learning management system using the embed code below each kit. You can also adapt and customize the resources to meet the needs of your institution with the free H5P plugin for Wordpress, Drupal or Moodle.

The Thesaurus helps you to find terms related to your topic. Use the STW to search for more general publications with broader terms or to narrow down your search using narrower terms. In addition, the STW automatically adds translations and synonyms to your search terms, so a search for "overqualification" will also find publications on "Überqualifikation" (German) and "brain waste".

As of the current version 9.12, the STW itself is available for download under the even more open license CC-BY 4.0, so that it can be reused by other organizations worldwide.

The current newsletter (and all past issues) can be found here or you can subscribe to the newsletter, to receive the current and all future issues in your email inbox.

The word cloud "Terms" shows the main research topics of all former (and soon: current) Nobel laureates in economics. Below the word cloud you can find a list of all publications written by Nobel laureates in EconBiz. Click on a research topic in the word cloud to display publications on this particular topic, or click on a publication in the list to jump directly to the respective title in EconBiz.

By clicking on "Co-authors" you can switch to the word cloud of co-authors of Nobel laureates. Click on a co-author to open the corresponding profile in EconBiz Author Profiles and display a list of the author's publications.

EconBiz Author Profiles is one of our beta services that allows you to view connected information about authors, publications and research topics in economics. Have you tried the EconBiz Author Profiles? Then let us know what you think by sending an email to info@remove-this.econbiz.de or by responding to our survey.

EconBiz provides visibility to Open Access and Open Science resources in economics and business studies.

Check out our guide here or let us know if you miss anything.

You can search using a keyword from the Thesaurus for Economics (STW) (e.g. "Climate Policy") or a code from the JEL Classification System (e.g. "Welfare and Poverty"). It is also possible to combine several keywords from the STW (e.g. "Climate Policy" and "Climate Change").

As a result, EconBiz Author Search displays a list of authors whose research is closely connected to the selected topic. In the result list you can find additional information about the authors (e.g. the affiliation to a research institution). With one click you can open the profile of an author in EconBiz Author Profiles and browse publications, co-authors and authors with a similar publication profile.

Disambiguation of Authors
Researchers, libraries and other institutions use authority files in order to make it easier to identify individual persons or institutions. The use of authority files helps to identify the right person if you have two or more people who share the same name (e.g. John Smith born in 1950 versus John Smith born in 1972 or John Smith, the economist, versus John Smith, the dancer). On the other hand authority files are used to bring together publications by one author whose publications appear under different names e.g. due to marriage or due to different spellings in different languages, common spelling mistakes, use of initials etc. (e.g. William D. Nordhaus, W. D. Nordhaus, U. Nordchauz, W. Nordhaus, William Nordhaus Weilian Nuodehaosi, 威廉 诺德豪斯).
