New SSRN Download Rankings--by Scholar, and by School

Law Professor Brian Leiter (LeiterReports,
3/23/2005) reports that The Social Science Research
Network has published two new rankings of both
schools and individual scholars by the total number
of downloads their papers have received from the SSRN
site.

The rankings of downloads-per-school are on the SSRN
site (you must be an SSRN subscriber to view this material).

Leiter provides the top 25 in total downloads in the last year
(which is how the SSRN data initially appears) on his blog,
together with his personal insights about the limitations of the
rankings.
