We’re excited to let you know that SSRN has now launched a completely new and improved paper submission experience.  

Since the beginning of the year we’ve been busy building and testing a new submission experience to make it easier for you to share your research with readers and to make it easier for readers to find your research on SSRN.  

The new Submission experience is built from the ground up on a more resilient and robust technology stack, and we hope you’ll find the templates clearer and easier to use.

When you drag and drop your PDF into the new Submission experience, we’re using an extraction tool to try and provide the title and abstract for you to review. We’ve made the process of classifying your paper easier by simplifying the site taxonomy and improving the user experience of the Classification tree.

Please bear in mind that if you are submitting to a Research Papers Series run by your organisation you will no longer be able to use the public submission form, but will need to contact your Research Paper Series administrator to access a special customer link for your Research Paper Series.

We really hope you like it and that you will find this new Submission flow faster and easier to use. Like any new software there are bound to be bugs and issues, so do send us your thoughts at ideas@ssrn.com. Your feedback on the new Submission form – or anything else – is really important because it helps us improve what we do, which in turn helps you do what you do: think, research, and share your findings with the rest of the scholarly world. 

When you are ready to submit a paper, you can access the new paper submission experience via the same routes as the previous one. If you’d like to see it now, please do check it out.
