Digital Commons and SSRN: Turning Perceived Conflict into Real Synergy James M. Donovan & Carol A. Watson April 15, 2014

Introduction James M. Donovan Carol A. Watson University of Georgia School of Law Library Director James M. Donovan University of Kentucky College of Law Library Director and James and Mary Lassiter Professor of Law

Overview The history of SSRN, Digital Commons and the development of institutional repositories How to positive address faculty concerns about losing SSRN download statistics A statistical analysis of downloads on each platform and research behavior The strengths and advantages of each platform

History of SSRN Vision - Our vision was (and still is) to enable scholars to share and distribute their research worldwide, long before their papers work their way through the multi-year journal refereeing and publication process Founded in 1994 Background information on SSRN history and service model is described in John Prebble, Julia Caldwell, & Amelia Keene, “Using the Social Science Research Network to Aid and to Promote Research,” 44 Victoria University of Wellington Law Review 631 (2013)

History of Digital Commons Vision - Bepress was built by scholars to serve the needs of scholars. In the late 1990's, academic journals were plagued by slow turnaround times, limited access, and unreasonable prices Founded in 1999 J

Development of Institutional Repositories Laakso M, Welling P, Bukvova H, Nyman L, Björk B-C, et al. (2011) The Development of Open Access Journal Publishing from 1993 to 2009. PLoS ONE 6(6): e20961. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0020961

Faculty Concern Won’t posting my articles elsewhere steal downloads away from SSRN?

Response to Faculty Concerns Remain positive Explain there is not a zero-sum of viewers Describe benefits of placing scholarship in the IR Increased exposure > downloads over time I

Research Behavior

SSRN Strengths Goal = saturating a small but keenly interested audience of legal scholars Current awareness tool Distribution of drafts and preprints SSRN search engine searches the following fields: author, title, abstract, keywords and date

DC Strengths Articles more findable by Google Larger audience Accommodates a variety of file formats Superior customized design and branding

How do SSRN downloads differ from DC over time? SSRN – quick burst then plateau DC – continual increase as discovered by web searching

How do SSRN downloads differ from DC over time? Weekly download totals for one article deposited simultaneously in SSRN and DC

Synergy SSRN – excels at delivering scholarship to a cadre of legal specialists DC – does a better job of presenting scholarship to a broader readership
