How complete is wikipapers referata site?

Rather complete. There are some duplicates but we definitely have the majority of the publications (perhaps 90 %?) known to most sources.

Could it be the case of lack
of updates/maintenance/editor activity resulting in missing data?

I doubt it. It's possible however that there are biases in coverage, as Jane speculates. If you have some sources for numbers of publications in a certain language/topic/country/year, we may compare to those of WikiPapers and see how big the gap is.

Kerry, maybe it's just about things getting tough as you say. But I'm careful about such conclusions, just as I'm not convinced that the "everything easy has already been written" theory can explain the fall of new users after the peak in 2006/2007, across all Wikimedia projects however (un)developed.
Much rather easy research would be possible, but we're not seeing it.
