The Social Science Research Network (SSRN) is a global platform for sharing early‑stage academic research. Its mission is “Tomorrow’s Research Today”, giving students, educators and professionals immediate access to working papers, preprints and conference proceedings across disciplines.

For the maritime sector, SSRN provides open access to research that strengthens maritime education and supports maritime security innovations. Students can explore studies on port logistics, international maritime law, cybersecurity in shipping and sustainable ocean governance.

By engaging with SSRN, maritime learners not only gain access to cutting‑edge knowledge but also have the opportunity to share their own research work with a global audience.
