The University of Tennessee College of Law is ranked
twenty-eighth among world law schools in regards to total
new downloads of papers during the last twelve months at
the Social Science Research Network.
SSRN is a website that promotes scholarship in economics,
finance, accounting, management, and law. Users of the
site are professors and researchers at institutions around
the world.
Readers have downloaded papers authored by UT faculty
members 22,456 times during the year that ended March
1, 2012. When the rankings are sorted by new downloads
per paper, which adjusts for the fact that UT has a smaller
faculty than all of the higher ranked schools, UT is ranked
in a tie for third, at ninety-two downloads per new paper.
Academic papers can be posted to SSRN by the author.
Many scholarly papers are published to SSRN and similar
sites before being submitted to academic journals, which
can be beneficial because it allows the authors to gather
comments that can be incorporated into their papers
before they are published in journals, It also allows widespread
dissemination of scholarly papers before they are
published in journals that have restricted access.
“Overall, we rank twenty-eighth—and tenth among public
law schools—in total new downloads,” said Gregory M.
Stein, associate dean for faculty development and the
Woolf, McClane, Bright, Allen & Carpenter Distinguished
Professor of Law. “But UT is far smaller than any of the
schools ranked ahead of us. When you examine the downloads
on a per-paper basis, we are at the top of the list.”
Congratulations to the twenty-eight UT College of Law faculty
members who have posted their papers to SSRN.
