SSRN to Sell Hard Copies of Papers

By Jamie Sommer | Published: October 21, 2010

The Social Science Research Network announced on October 19 that it will soon make available a “Purchase Bound Hard Copy” feature.  This will not replace free PDF downloads, but will be another option for reading the articles posted on SSRN.  Please note that if you are an author who does not want to have your papers included in this service, you must opt out by contacting SSRN.

The full-text of the SSRN announcement stated:

In response to requests from authors and readers to purchase printed and bound hard copies of papers on SSRN, we will soon release a “Purchase Bound Hard Copy” service for most free PDF files in SSRN’s eLibrary. We have contracted with a New York company to do the printing, binding and shipping.

The price for one or more bound hard copies will be $9.99 per copy plus shipping. Free PDF files with a minimum of 19 pages and a maximum of 240 pages will be eligible for printing. The PDF document will be printed in black and white, “perfect bound” with a glossy color cover, and shipped to United States addresses only. A “Purchase Bound Hard Copy” option will be added on the abstract page of each eligible paper. The existing options, including free One-Click Download, will remain the same, and each purchased hard copy will count as a download.

Any author, who does not want to have his or her free papers in the SSRN eLibrary available for this new service, can opt out at any time by emailing the request to AuthorSupport@SSRN.com, or calling the SSRN office at 877-SSRNHelp (877.777.6435) in the United States, or +1 585 442 8170 outside of the United States, between 8:30 am and 6 pm Monday through Friday (U.S. Eastern). If you request to opt out of the “Purchase Bound Hard Copy” service, ALL papers that are authored or co-authored by you will not display the “Purchase Bound Hard Copy” option on your abstract page(s). Please notify us by Friday, October 29, 2010 if you do not want your papers included in the initial roll-out of this new service. You may change your participation status at any time in the future.

    It’s ironic yet even more tragic that men and women who serve our country get into crashes at home. Perhaps there should be a – for lack of a better term – crash course in driving when they get back from their respective tours.

    That is a heck of a study. Gripping to say the least (except the road). Get our troops home and we can be rid of debates and issues like this. Great article thank you.

    The injuries may variety from slight scrape to enduring disabilities. The figure of mortal wounded in car crashes each year is predictable to be well over 40,000.

    Wow, very emotional post. I think it is very sad that our vets survive war only to come home and not want to live! As a country we should be doing much more to give them the psychological help they need to get on with their life…very sad!!

    Thanks, Jon

    Our vets should get intensive therapy when they come back home. Not just to save them from killing themselves but also to save other people who get killed by them on the road.
