Our Commitment to Researchers In Action
It’s been an exciting month since we announced our merger with Elsevier. This week the SSRN eLibrary reached 100,000,000 downloads! It is an amazing accomplishment and we are greatly appreciative of this milestone. It wouldn’t be possible without the authors and users that make up the SSRN Community.
As we said a month ago, you are critical to our success and we will continue to provide the same services that we have in the past:
- Submission will remain free – Authors will always be able to post their papers to SSRN without a charge
- Downloading will remain free – We have never charged to download papers submitted by the author and we won’t in the future
- Copyright remains with the author – We have not and will not take a copyright to work submitted to SSRN
But, innovation is in our future – Elsevier is contributing significant development and other resources to make SSRN better. We promised “your experiences will become even more enjoyable and productive” and the first dose just became a reality!
Today we are releasing the long requested Full Text Search on SSRN; making it possible for you to search not only abstracts and titles, but within the entire research paper!
This is the first of many advances as we strive to make researchers lives easier. We are already conducting interviews for a UX redesign and will share our technology road map later this summer.
Our commitment to researchers hasn’t changed, it’s been made stronger and better!

Announcing East-West Center Workshop on Mega-Regionalism Online Proceedings on SSRN
In cooperation with East-West Center, the Innovation Research & Policy Network (IRPN) is pleased to announce East-West Center Workshop on Mega-Regionalism – New Challenges for Trade & Innovation Online Proceedings. These proceedings are available to all users at no charge and contain abstracts of the conference papers with links to the full text in the SSRN eLibrary.
This initial workshop in the East-West Center Mega-Regionalism – New Challenges for Trade and Innovation (MCTI) workshop series focuses on emerging trends in Megaregional Trade Agreements, like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement, and their impact on innovation. The workshop brings together trade economists with experts on innovation, intellectual property rights, competition law, technical standards, and industrial development. Speakers come from the US, Asia and Europe. Dieter Ernst, EWC senior fellow and Michael Plummer, director of SAIS Europe, Johns Hopkins University are co-coordinators of this activity.
To create maximum space for multi-disciplinary discussion, each workshop is structured around invited Think Pieces which highlight important under-researched topics, and which lay out possible agendas for policy-related research. Revised versions of these essays will be made available after each workshop, creating a continuous stream of policy-relevant research findings to key audiences in the United States and across Asia.
The MCTI workshop series will continue to meet once or twice per year, dividing these meetings between the East-West Center and partner institutions in the US, Asia, and Europe.
