Das Social Science Research Network (SSRN) ist eine Website die entwickelt wurde zur schnellen Verbreitung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung in den Sozial- und Humanwissenschaften. SSRN wurde gegründet 1994 von Michael Jensen und Wayne Marr, beide Finanzwirtschafter. SSRN steht im Eigentum der Social Science Electronic Publishing, Inc. (SSEP). Jensen hat die Funktion des Vorsitzenden, und Gregg Gordon ist der Präsident und CEO.[1]
SSRN was ranked the top open-access repository in the world by Ranking Web of Repositories (an initiative of the Cybermetrics Lab, a research group belonging to the Spanish National Research Council) in January 2013.[2]
Akademische Werke im PDF können direkt auf die Site vom Autor hochgeladen werden und weltweit für den Gratisdownload zur Verfügung. Verleger können Werke hochladen und ein Entgelt für den Download verlangen..[3] --------- Users can also subscribe to abstracting email journals covering a broad range of subject matters. These e-journals then periodically distribute emails containing abstracts (with links to the full text where applicable) of papers recently submitted to SSRN in the respective field.
In economics, and to some degree in law (especially in the field of law and economics), almost all papers are now first published as preprints on SSRN and/or other paper distribution networks such as Research Papers in Economics (RePEc) before being submitted to an academic journal.
On SSRN, authors and papers are ranked by their number of downloads, which has become an informal indicator of popularity on prepress and open access sites.[4]
SSRN, like other preprint services, circulates publications throughout the scholarly community at an early stage, permitting the author to incorporate comments into the final version of the paper before its publication in a journal. Moreover, even if access to the published paper is restricted, access to the original working paper remains open through SSRN.
SSRN has mirror sites at the European Corporate Governance Institute (London), Korea University (Seoul), Stanford Law School (California) and University of Chicago Booth School of Business (Illinois).[3]
