Can I post non-scientific papers on SSRN such as short op-ed, opinion, or expositional papers; the sort of papers that I would generally include in my vita under the section entitled “Other Papers”?
Yes, you can post such papers on SSRN. To distinguish them from normal scholarly papers we ask you to check the box at the bottom of the abstract submission page that says: I want to include my submission in: [ ] My Papers (this submission will be available for Private Distribution by me) These papers will not show up in the SSRN search engine or on public search engines such as Google. To make the paper available from your SSRN author page, you can then check the box “Include on Author Page” next to the paper in the Privately Available Papers section of your My Papers page in SSRN HQ. Downloads of these papers are not included in calculating your SSRN Author Rank.
