SSRN provides an eye-friendly short-form URL for every author and abstract page.
Author Page: http://ssrn.com/author=1234567
This URL is useful in your email “signature,” allowing recipients to quickly find your research (without running the risk of fumbling to copy a long string of a URL that may not paste properly).
For example:
Sincerely,
John Doe
