No, publications in Social Science Research Network (SSRN) are not regarded as Scopus indexed.

Some papers published on SSRN may eventually be indexed by Scopus if they are later published in a Scopus-indexed journal. In this case, the citation information for the paper would be added to Scopus once it appears in the indexed journal.

Thanks Ajit,

I am very grateful

Dear Musah Osumanu Doumbia As indicated elsewhere here on RG https://www.researchgate.net/post/Is_SSRN_Electronic_Journal_is_an_peer_reviewed_journal SSRN is a platform for pre-prints, like many other numerous pre-print servers (for an idea see for example https://asapbio.org/preprint-servers Warning: not everything mentioned there is still valid).

Recently SSRN received some additional credits compared to other pre-print platforms. According to https://www.elsevier.com/about/press-releases/science-and-technology/elseviers-scopus-expands-to-include-ssrn-preprints it states, and I quote “preprints from SSRN, its world-leading early-stage research and preprint platform, are now available through Scopus, Elsevier’s abstract and citation database.” Furthermore, they indicate: “Preprints in Scopus are only available in author profiles that already have a peer-reviewed publication history.”

Last but not least: “Preprints are increasingly becoming an integral part of the research landscape. As well as providing a valuable early opportunity to understand the direction research is heading, preprints are a positive way for early career researchers to receive feedback ahead of submitting articles to journals.”

In other words, a SSRN preprint is and remains a preprint that is not equal to a peer-reviewed paper in a for example Scopus indexed journal.

Best regards.

Then any conference proceedings available in SSRN are of which category
