We would like to begin addressing many of SSRN’s users’ Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs) via our blog. Each Tuesday, we will be addressing a new question. Please feel free to submit your questions via the “comments” below any posts, or email questions to Blog@ssrn.com.

The FAQ for this week is: How can I have my own paper included in the SSRN eLibrary?

We invite you to submit abstracts from your own papers for inclusion in our eLibrary.

You will need the following information:

• Abstract
• Names, contact information, and affiliations for all co-authors not in the SSRN database
• Journal citation (for accepted and forthcoming papers)
• Permission from copyright holder, if not yourself
• The email and postal addresses, phone and fax numbers, and the affiliation of the contact author
• Electronic version of the paper in PDF format (you can create a PDF by downloading a free utility during the submission process or by visiting the Adobe website).
• You will need to be logged into your User Account at http://hq.ssrn.com/
