For Capstone students who wish to publish their coursework on SSRN or a similar platform

Written by Kate Porter

Guidelines for publishing your WorldQuant University Capstone project or coursework on SSRN or similar platforms

  • You should include all student collaborators as coauthors, since the work is a group effort.

  • You may add your professor as a coauthor or mention them in the acknowledgments.

  • Most importantly, you must include the following statement in your publication
    For journals/websites:

    • “This paper was created as part of a WorldQuant University degree program towards an MSc in Financial Engineering. This paper is reproduced with the consent and permission of WorldQuant University. All rights reserved.”

  • You may not upload or publish any WQU copyright course materials (such as lecture notes, assignments, or proprietary content) to SSRN or any public domain, as this is a violation of WQU policy.

    For more details on these policies, refer to the Academic Integrity Policy and Student Code of Conduct in the University Catalog.
