Publishers

• SSRN partners with hundreds of journals in providing a preprint serviceopens in new tab/window to researchers in just one-click through our First Lookopens in new tab/window program. During submission to a journal partnering with SSRN, the submitting author checked a tick box in Editorial Manager to have your paper posted to SSRN as a preprint, Elsevier’s preprint platform partner. Preprints are only posted to SSRN if an author actively opts-in during the submission process to a journal.
