Content Editor

About The Role
SSRN is Elsevier’s preprint server, working with over 1,200 Elsevier journals to offer submitting authors the option to preprint their research. Authors may also submit directly to SSRN through a journal‑independent de novo route.

One of SSRN’s recent successes has been strong growth in the clinical and medical disciplines, supported by notable partnerships such as Preprints with The Lancet and Cell Press journals. This growth coincides with the emergence of new funder policies that require authors to preprint their work and meet specific compliance criteria.
