The Social Science Research Network, or SSRN, is an online repository that provides access to working papers and preprints in the social sciences. It allows researchers to share their findings and receive feedback before formal publication. This platform covers various disciplines, including economics, law, and political science. Founded in 1994, SSRN has become a valuable resource for academics, practitioners, and policymakers. Users can search for papers by topic, author, or date, facilitating the dissemination of knowledge and fostering collaboration within the research community.
