Social Science Research Network (SSRN) is devoted to the rapid worldwide dissemination of social science research and is composed of a number of specialized research networks in each of the social sciences. Each of SSRN's networks encourages the early distribution of research results by publishing submitted abstracts and by soliciting abstracts of top quality research papers around the world.

EconPapers provides access to RePEc, the world's largest collection of on-line Economics working papers, journal articles and software. RePEc is a distributed data set residing in over 1100 archives operated by research organizations, academic departments and publishers.
