Among the business schools surveyed (including US business schools), New York University was ranked No. 1 with 173,739 downloads in one year.
The number of downloads is an important index that indicates the level of research at a school, as other scholars download the excellent papers for reference. As such, universities under the slogan ‘research-oriented university’ are striving to publish papers in order to receive recognition for their research capabilities and academic progress.
SSRN, the greatest research network in the field of social sciences, has established networks such as finance, economy and business management etc. The rankings are updated according to the number of downloads.
