SSRN (Social Science Research Network) is a major academic repository for research papers, preprints, and working papers across various social science disciplines, including economics. SSRN allows researchers to share their research findings, making their work accessible to others before formal publication in academic journals. SSRN includes several subsections or “networks” dedicated to specific fields, including the SSRN Economics Research Network, which focuses on economic preprints and working papers.
Preprints are not “peer-reviewed.” They are unreviewed manuscripts posted online. They are an important means for researchers to share findings with others in their discipline quickly.
