Database info

SSRN, formerly known as the Social Science Research Network, is a searchable online repository that allows authors to upload their papers and abstracts easily and free of charge.
Most papers can be downloaded without cost, though there are exceptions for papers whose copyrights are held by third parties that impose a download fee.

SSRN offers access to a diverse range of content beyond traditional research articles, including grey literature, book reviews, multimedia files, and datasets. It has evolved into the most interdisciplinary service of its kind, covering a wide range of disciplines from applied sciences and health sciences to humanities, life sciences, physical sciences, and social sciences.

SSRN plays a crucial role as both an entry point for students and faculty in the research process and a platform for communicating early findings prior to formal publication in academic journals.
