With detailed listing of fields and editors removed, that

SSRN Announces New Humanities Research Network (HRN)
The Social Science Research Network (SSRN) is pleased to
announce
the creation of the Humanities Research Network (HRN). HRN
will
provide a world-wide, online community for research in all
areas
of Humanities, following the model of the other subject
matter
networks within SSRN (http://www.ssrn.com).
We expect HRN to become a comprehensive online resource for
research in humanities, providing scholars with access to
current
work in their field and facilitating research and
scholarship.
Initially, HRN will begin with the following networks:
HRN CLASSIC RESEARCH NETWORK
Director: Lesley Dean-Jones, University of Texas at Austin
HRN ENGLISH & AMERICAN LITERATURE RESEARCH NETWORK
Director: Susan Heinzelman, University of Texas at Austin
HRN PHILOSOPHY RESEARCH NETWORK
Directors: Lawrence Becker, Hollins University and Brie
Gertler,
University of Virginia
You can view the expandable Humanities Research Network
taxonomy

SSRN eLibrary
All abstracts and papers, together with bibliographic data
and author

SSRN
electronic library at http://papers.ssrn.com.
The SSRN eLibrary contains more than 164,000 papers by
82,000
authors, including 131,000 full text papers. The eLibrary

Institutional Research Paper Series. For more information,

SSRN DOWNLOAD POLICY
SSRN provides worldwide free access to all papers included
in all of
our Institutional Research Paper Series, and all other
papers
uploaded to the eLibrary directly by an author.
SSRN'S MISSION
SSRN's objective is to provide rapid, worldwide distribution
of
research to authors and their readers and to facilitate
communication
among them at the lowest possible cost. In pursuit of this
objective,
we allow authors to upload papers without charge. And any
paper an
author uploads to SSRN is downloadable for free, worldwide.
SSRN reinvests all of the net cash it receives (principally
from
subscriptions to our abstracting journals and from
institutions that
use us to distribute their research papers), after expenses
and
servicing debt, to enhance our services to authors and
users. SSRN's
shareholders have not received any return on their
investment,
including dividends. To minimize potential conflicts with
authors and
users, SSRN has no outside investors.
