Social Science Research Network (SSRN) Home Page

Social Science Research Network (SSRN) Home Page is one verry heavy user of RSS feeds. It is the gateway to extensive aacademic paper databases mostly in social sciences and business. To me this is as deeply developed as I have seen in academic publishing. This SSRN project is co-hosted by Stanford, but the other half, is apparently a for profit quasi publishing company out of Rochester, NY. Excuse my inability to pin down where this fits in the arcane world of academic publishing!!!! Especially after digging deeper into JSTOR, a nonprofit, its business model, and newer initiatives.
