If you believe you may have multiple SSRN accounts, please let us know by submitting a support ticket at Support@ssrn.com.

You will not be able to create multiple accounts with the same email address. If the system is not allowing you to create a new account with your email, it is likely you or someone else already created an account for you using that email address. To confirm this and gain access to your account, please contact us at Support@ssrn.com by filling out a support ticket and include any relevant account details.

If you have questions about any of this, don't hesitate to let us know at Support@ssrn.com.
