SSRN downloads is a milestone recently achieved by ‘Innovation Concepts and Typology – An Evolutionary Discussion’, a working paper by Maxim Kotsemir, Alexander Abroskin and Dirk Meissner — one of the first publications issued as part of the HSE Basic Research Programme. The authors analyse the evolution of the concept of ‘innovation’ and present a typology of innovations.

The work was published in the series ‘Science, Technology and Innovation’ a little over a year ago, and it is the fourth work by HSE staff that has been downloaded more than 1,000 times. The most popular working papers of HSE Basic Research Program are presented in Table 1.

SSRN is one of the world’s leading open electronic repositories of academic articles and working papers. Approximately 2.5% of the publications placed in SSRN in a full-text format (about 456 thousand papers) have more than 1,000 downloads.
