Talk:Social Science Research Network

Reliability as source
Since there is no peer review or significant editorial control, I take it that citations to SSRN would not count as citations of a reliable source? --Wtshymanski (talk) 21:45, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Questionable Statement
I find the following statement hard to beleive: "In economics, and to some degree in law (especially in the field of law and economics), almost all papers      are now first published as preprints on SSRN and/or other paper distribution networks such as Research Papers in    Economics (RePEc) before being submitted to an academic journal." I'm an economist and this has definitely not been my experience. I think that someone should either provide a source for this statement (especially the "almost all" part) or remove it.

Preprints vs. other content
Tom Reller of Elsevier mentions that SSRN contains also papers licensed by publishers such as Wiley. I couldn't find a published source for the statement so I'd rather not add it to the article, but he says they've covered it before. There is a mention of "PJA" in https://www.slideshare.net/BaltimoreNISO/greg-gordon-ssrn-preprints-through-time --Nemo 12:28, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
