SSRN's 2014 Year-End
President's Letter
December 19, 2014
SSRN has delivered over 81
million full-text PDF downloads to date and users currently download close to 1
million PDFs per month. We expect to reach the 100 million download milestone
in early 2016. The SSRN eLibrary currently has 581,000 paper
abstracts from 269,000 authors and our CiteReader technology, built with ITX
Corp., has extracted 9 million references and 9.1 million footnotes, and matched
6 million citations from our 482,000 full text papers. We are pleased to see
the broad connections SSRN is making within the academic community.
In 2014, there were
several examples of SSRN's impact on the larger scholarly world. The World Bank report in May showed the diverse
benefits of using both SSRN and an institutional repository for sharing
scholarly research. We connected the SSRN eLibrary with ORCiD last month; SSRN authors with ORCID IDs
in their record will get proper credit for their research submitted to SSRN by
journals that include ORCID IDs in their submissions. In October, we were
honored to receive the Three Luminaries Award from The International Council for Small Business
and The George Washington University Center for
Entrepreneurial Excellence for our commitment to Open Access and
support of entrepreneurship. This was an important year for expanding SSRN's reach
beyond the social sciences in the USA and we are very proud of our
accomplishments.
Our year-end distribution
break is scheduled for Monday, 22 December 2014 through Sunday, 4 January 2015.
During the break, SSRN's eJournals will not be distributed so that we can
improve the performance of our servers and ensure the highest quality system
performance. We will continue to provide support for downloads, submissions,
and subscriptions but there will be periods of time during the break when the
site is unavailable.
For any requests during
the break, please contact customer support at SSRNSupport@SSRN.com or call toll free
877-SSRNHelp (877-777-6435). Outside of the United States, call +1 585 442
8170. We are available Monday through Friday between 8:30AM and 6:00PM, United
States Eastern time.
Please share your feedback
and experiences about SSRN with me directly at Gregg_Gordon@SSRN.com
or use our "Feedback to SSRN" link available on most SSRN web pages.
Our team is always interested to hear how SSRN affects you personally, and I am
always happy to connect and talk about scholarly communication.
Thank you for your
continued support!
