SSRN is not a peer reviewed journal. It's essentially just a preprint server where anybody can dump whatever they please. So it's more like the personal blog that the parent comment referred to than a peer reviewed journal they were asking you to cite.
Please cite peer reviewed works. As an accomplished academic of 70+ years I'm assuming you are very familiar with that process.
- ProfHewitt 6y agoDear Ganafagol: Please do not denigrate SSRN, which is used by many prominent researchers to publish their articles. Eventually, many of the articles are republished elsewhere. However, waiting years for trees to be cut down should not be allowed to slow down scientific progress! You are incorrect that SSRN is a "private blog".
- ganafagol 6y ago> You are incorrect that SSRN is a "private blog". And you are incorrect in claiming that I wrote that.
- ProfHewitt 6y agoDear Ganafagol: I mistyped :-( Instead, you insinuated that SSRN is a "personal blog." Also, you are incorrect that "anybody can dump anything that they please" into SSRN. If you wait long enough, each article will be republished elsewhere :-) However, you may have to wait years :-( In the meantime, more articles will be published in SSRN for which you will have to wait even longer to be republished!
