Social Science Research Network

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 342,000 scholarly working papers and forthcoming papers and an electronic paper collection currently containing over 277,500 downloadable full text documents in PDF format.

Topics covered include

  • Accounting
  • Classics

  • Economics
  • English and Americam literature
  • Finance
  • Health
  • Leadership
  • Law
  • Management
  • Marketing
