Leading Social Science Research Delivered To Your DeskTop Daily
Social Science Research Network (SSRN) is devoted to the rapid worldwide dissemination
of social science research and is composed of a number of specialized research networks
in each of the social sciences. We have received several
excellence awards for our web site.
Each of SSRN's networks encourages the early distribution of research results by
publishing Submitted abstracts
and by soliciting abstracts of top quality research papers around the world. We now
have hundreds of journals, publishers, and institutions in
Partners in Publishing
that provide working papers for distribution through
SSRN's eLibrary
and abstracts for publication in SSRN's electronic journals.
The SSRN eLibrary consists of two parts: an Abstract Database containing abstracts
on over 261,200 scholarly working papers and forthcoming papers and an Electronic
Paper Collection currently containing over 214,500 downloadable full text documents
in Adobe Acrobat pdf format. The eLibrary also includes the research papers of
a number of Fee Based Partner Publications.
The Networks encourage readers to communicate directly with authors and other
subscribers concerning their own and others' research. To facilitate this we
publish detailed author contact information including email addresses for authors
of each paper. We also provide electronic delivery of the papers when authors wish
us to do so from the SSRN eLibrary. You may also
Browse the SSRN eLibrary, view our current
Top Papers
or search the electronic library for papers by
Title,
Author, or
Journal/Topic.
SSRN also offers a range of high-visibility
Advertising Opportunities
for companies seeking to market their products to professionals in the social science
or law areas.
