Social Science Research Network

What is SSRN?

SSRN, also known as the Social Science Research Network, is a repository of new and forthcoming scholarship in a number of disciplines, including law (as part of the Legal Scholarship Network division of SSRN). New law school faculty and staff scholarship is distributed through the SSRN UW Law School Legal Studies Research Paper Series. Anyone may subscribe.

Submitting an Article or Working Paper to SSRN

If you would like your article or paper to appear on SSRN, you must first establish an account. Then you may send your document (MS Word, WP or PDF) to Sue Sawatske who will submit it to SSRN. Also include any additional authors, an abstract (one paragraph preferred), journal citation if applicable, JEL codes, and some keywords to assist people in searching for your papers.

Unpublished or recently published articles and working papers will be included in the University of Wisconsin Law School Legal Studies Research Paper Series. For these items Sue will append a Research Paper Series cover sheet when she submits the document to SSRN. It will be then included in the Research Paper Series email distribution list.

Older articles may also be submitted to SSRN, but they will not be included in the Research Paper Series.

For more information about submitting papers to SSRN, see the SSRN FAQ.
