| 1 March 2015: Given the considerable change of the Internet over the past 15 years (with, among others, the advent of Google Scholar and similar online services), it has been decided to terminate the ERPA service. The data has been archived, the search engine is no longer functional, no further papers will be included. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The ERPA network was founded by the then Harvard Jean Monnet Chair, Prof. J.H.H. Weiler; the then directors of the Cologne Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, Prof. Fritz Scharpf and Prof. Wolfgang Streeck; Prof. Philip Alston (then Academy of European Law) and Prof. Yves Mény (then Robert Schuman Centre) of the European University Institute; and the founding editor of the European Integration online Papers (EIoP), Dr. Michael Nentwich. The editors of the founding series, resp. their successors, were members of the management board. In the meantime, a number of further papers joined the network since then (see below). ERPA's aim was to provide a common access point for the online working paper series and E-journals of the participating institutions in order to help researchers in the field of European Integration studies searching the growing number of working papers now available in the internet. ERPA is confined to high quality series in order to guarantee high standards. The participating series editors achieved this high level of scholarship by different means: while the Max Planck Institute, and the Harvard Jean Monnet Chair practise high-level internal refereeing, the Robert Schuman Centre and the EIoP have a double-blind review process with two referees per paper. All further participating series subscribed to a similar high-quality policy (see descriptions below). How complete was the ERPA database? It includes all papers of the participating series which deal with aspects of European Integration and are available online. See for details about the participating series on the pages below. Other papers cannot be searched via ERPA but have to be accessed through the participating institutes' homepages or ordered directly. ERPA was open for new members which meet certain conditions. See for further details on the members of the ERPA network and their series:
All papers in ERPA are included in the database with the following details:
There were two different search forms, a shorter and a longer one: The shorter gave you the opportunity to update yourself on the latest entries in the ERPA database and to make a simple query in the authors' and titles' database. The longer, advanced search form gave you access to all search modes, including full text search. Here, you may choose whether to search in all participating series or in only one or some of them. The search result is a list of papers matching your search string including a clickable reference to the respective papers. Some dates:
