CTSP | SSRN and open access for non-institutional scholars | Citizen Technologist

"Losing SSRN will make it more difficult for practitioners and others outside traditional academia both to access and to contribute to the exchange of ideas that eventually drives business and policy decisions. Losing those voices and restricting information from the non-academic public would shrink our marketplace of ideas.

Furthermore, openly accessible academic research can benefit the public at large, especially in fields like law and public policy."
