Wharton Research Data Services (WRDS), the data research platform and business intelligence tool for corporate, academic and government institutions worldwide, has announced a first of its kind collaboration with SSRN, the world's leading preprint server and working paper repository, and Elsevier, a global information analytics company specialising in science and health.
The collaboration will elevate the visibility of universities and researchers conducting research across an array of financial fields.
The initial endeavour in this alliance is the WRDS Research Paper Series (RPS) – a searchable repository of all papers submitted to SSRN that cite WRDS in their work. This RPS will elevate a researchers' visibility, increase their Eigenfactor® score, and build a specialised research base for others to explore easily, thereby rapidly advancing the sharing of knowledge.
In addition, the three organisations have launched the WRDS-SSRN Innovation Award™ – honouring emerging business schools in North America, Asia-Pacific, and EMEIA. WRDS and SSRN will present these awards to the Dean of the winning institutions at the international and regional AACSB conferences throughout the year. Winners will also receive a monetary prize and promotion.
