Some of it is formatting, some of it is just field dependent. SSRN is commercial and "good enough" for many people. It (at least used to) advertise itself as a social network for social science academics. There's also SocArXiv[0] and others, which are purer extensions of the arxiv model. Part of the issue is that the arxiv doesn't want every discipline in science, so a certain amount of duplication is necessary. | ||
