Is SSRN a publisher?

SSRN is a platform for the dissemination of early-stage research. We are not a peer-reviewed journal, and we do not publish or distribute hard copies.

Posting a paper to SSRN and/or distributing it in one of SSRN's eJournals does not make it Accepted or Published, it simply means that your paper is available for download on SSRN.
