Social Science Research Network (SSRN)
Social Science Research Network (SSRN) is devoted to the rapid worldwide dissemination of social science research and is composed of a number of specialised research networks in each of the social sciences.
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.
The SSRN eLibrary consists of two parts: an Abstract Database containing abstracts on over 450,500 scholarly working papers and forthcoming papers; and an Electronic Paper Collection currently containing over 364,500 downloadable full text documents in pdf format. The eLibrary also includes the research papers of a number of Fee Based Partner Publications.Published Documents
