Ssrn

The SSRN icon represents the Social Science Research Network, a major repository for early-stage research and working papers across social sciences, economics, law, and humanities. This symbol identifies the Elsevier-owned platform enabling researchers to share preliminary findings, working papers, and unpublished research for early feedback and visibility. SSRN has become essential infrastructure for rapid dissemination of social science research, though its commercial ownership raises ongoing access concerns.

In economics and social science workflows, researchers post working papers to SSRN for early dissemination before journal publication. Law scholars share draft articles receiving feedback from specialized communities, while business researchers track download statistics demonstrating research impact beyond citations. The platform's disciplinary organization, author alerts, and extensive indexing have made it central infrastructure for pre-publication research sharing across social sciences despite debates about Elsevier's commercial control.

From a scholarly communication perspective, this icon signifies more than just preprint hosting - it represents discipline-specific infrastructure predating generalist preprint servers, enables rapid sharing of policy-relevant research requiring timely dissemination, and reflects tensions between commercial platforms and open-access alternatives. This distinction helps users recognize SSRN as established but commercially-controlled infrastructure for social science research sharing.

Ssrn is one of 158 icons in Academicons, made by James Walsh and released under Open Font License. It is drawn on a 512 × 512 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds SsrnIcon to components/icons/academicons-ssrn.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed SsrnIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Ssrn icon, or any of 158 Academicons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 512 × 512 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Ssrn", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. SsrnIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <SsrnIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. The Open Font License allows commercial use; the icons can't be sold on their own. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: Open Font License only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Academicons, James Walsh and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
