How do papers get on SSRN?
Last updated on July 11, 2024SSRN is an Elsevier company devoted to providing "tomorrow’s research today". Through our market-leading platform, we facilitate free author posting and peer sharing of numerous disciplines of research. Similarly, researchers can visit the SSRN platform for free, to download and learn from the latest early research. Research is posted on our site by authors and author affiliates.
- Publishers
- SSRN partners with hundreds of journals in providing a preprint service to researchers in just one-click through our First Look program. During submission to a journal partnering with SSRN, the submitting author checked a tick box in Editorial Manager to have your paper posted to SSRN as a preprint, Elsevier’s preprint platform partner. Preprints are only posted to SSRN if an author actively opts-in during the submission process to a journal.
- SSRN works with journal publishers and other organizations to showcase their latest accepted or published papers on SSRN through our service known as Partners in Publishing.
