Alacra, Inc., a provider of online business information solutions, launched Research Recap in late summer 2007 to provide readers with an overview of recently released financial and market research, especially research that isn?t receiving widespread media coverage.

Research Recap tracks key research reports in multiple categories, including Credit Research, Economic Research, Equity Research, Academic Research, Industry Research and Market Research. RSS feeds are available for each category. In addition, users can easily search by keywords, company names or other terms to access Research Recap?s archive of posts with links to the original research reports.

Sifting Through Thousands of Reports, Prescient Review of Marketplace Issues

Research Recap editors review tens of thousands of research reports each year, analyzing and writing about those reports which they believe provide insights and information not well-covered in the mainstream media. Topics addressed by Research Recap in 2007 were varied, with considerable coverage of the housing and credit markets, eCommerce and social networking, corporate governance, energy and green technologies, hedge funds and more.

?We?ve been extremely pleased with the reception to Research Recap,? said Angus Robertson, Research Recap Moderator. ?The audience of investment and financial executives interested in our daily analysis of new market and economic research is growing rapidly. As a result, starting this week we?re bringing on additional contributors to expand the volume of daily posts on the site.?

The blog frequently is prescient in its coverage, picking up on industry developments before they become readily apparent to the marketplace. In many cases, Research Recap wrote about and analyzed economic and financial issues before the mainstream press covered the same issues. For example, starting in October 2007 Research Recap began highlighting research analyzing whether the subprime crisis would spill over into commercial real estate, in posts such as Commercial Real Estate Risks Less Severe Than Subprime. That same topic was covered two months later by major business publications.

Research Recap has also been out front on topics such as the questionable wisdom of using food crops for biofuels and bailout plans for complex financial instruments such as Structured Investment Vehicles. Signature features of the blog include Research Zeitgeist, a weekly summary of top posts and hot topics, and regular Research Roundup posts that synthesize research from multiple sources on current topics.

Research Recap welcomes submissions from research publishers for consideration. For further information please contact Mr. Robertson at editor @ researchrecap.com.
