SSRN, like other preprint services, circulates publications throughout the scholarly community at an early stage, permitting the author to incorporate comments into the final version of the paper before its publication in a journal. Moreover, even if access to the published paper is restricted, access to the original working paper remains open through SSRN, so long as the author decides to keep the paper up. Often authors take papers down at the request of publishers, particularly if they are published by commercial or university presses that depend on payment for paper copies or online access.
Academic papers in [[Portable Document Format|PDF]] format can be uploaded directly to the SSRN site by authors and may then be available for downloading.<ref>https://support.ssrn.com/knowledgebase.php?article=67</ref> As of 2019, download by users is generally subject to registration or completion of a [[ReCAPTCHA]] challenge and therefore SSRN is not considered a suitable [[open access]] location,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://support.unpaywall.org/support/solutions/articles/44002140100-what-counts-as-an-open-access-location-|title=What counts as an Open Access location?|author=Richard Orr|date=2020-12-31|publisher=[[Unpaywall]]}}</ref> unlike [[open archive]]s like most [[institutional repository|institutional repositories]].
Publishers and institutions can upload papers and charge a fee for readers to download them.<ref name="About_SSRN">{{cite web|url=http://www.ssrn.com/update/general/mjensen.html|title=About SSRN|first=Michael C.|last=Jensen|author-link=Michael C.

These e-journals then periodically distribute emails containing abstracts (with links to the full text where applicable) of papers recently submitted to SSRN in the respective field.
