Thanks Prof. Anand

It is interesting to apprise you all that my RG score slightly raised this weak - it is now 14.07 and the reputation break up shows 10.90% on publication area. The score due to publication is decreased.(When Rg score was 13.97 the publication factor was 10.98%) I do not understand why?

I will participate and interact with colleagues and forget the RG score as suggested by you sir. Thank you for your response- motivated, Vow!

Prof Sheth, your profile is tremendous and looks great!

May be few observations that would yield you at very good heights are that you can be more interactive and recommend others work/answers apart from sharing your own publications.

Leave apart the score!

Thanks Prof. Anand

Sorry, i have no idea about how RG calculates "Reputation"? This is nice question. It had already appeared in my mind before.

I have no idea

REGARDS

The RG Score is a metric that measures scientific reputation based on how all of your work is received by your peers. We believe that fellow researchers are the best judges of each other's work and that all your research, published or not, deserves credit. With this in mind, your RG Score is based on how both your published research and contributions to ResearchGate are received by your peers.

A way of measuring your scientific reputation

IT IS NOT THE NUMBER OF PUBLICATIONS BUT THE JOURNALS IN WHICH THEY ARE PUBLISHED HAVE MORE WEIGHTAGE APART FROM THE CITATION.

SIMILARLY IF YOU INTERACT AND ASK QUESTIONS,RG SCORE WILL INCREASE OWING TO YOUR RECIPROCATION BUT ACCORDINGLY THE WEIGHTAGE GIVEN BY PAPERS TOWARDS TOTAL SCORE GOES ON DECREASING.

Reputation is calculated on the basis of:

1. Publications

2. Questions asked

3. Answers to questions

4. Followers

5. Following

6. Communication

7. Exchanging research

8. Citations

9. Etc. ...!

I agree with the views of Prof. Subhash and Dr. Harry

They have their world, i dont understand them at all

good question following answers

So far I understand, RG have a list of journals. It was perhaps created during beginning.

No addition/ alteration of the list has been performed.

So, all journal outside that list are not considered as 'journal' and the articles published in these journals are treated as 'predatory'.

I can't understand RG scoring system. So, now I do not think about it.

I agree with Prof Subhash,

The RG score calculation seems to be difficult to tell. I have long ago forgot about it.

RG score as my colleagues mentioned is depending on many factors such as citation, questions and answers, publications, contributions, followers, etc..

It is unclear how RG score is calcukated. Many researchers asked about it and there are many answers there, But no answer seems to be 100% correct.

I saw scores for some researchers who have big contibutions to RG is MUCH LESS than others who do not have that much contribution.

RG score is calculated every week, and it may increases, decreases, or doesn't change. I think in order to increase your RG score, your contributions (number of read) in the current week should be greater than your average contributions in previous weeks.

Following

I am following.

I do not have the slightest idea. every week I interact in an ascending way, I have reached 500 recommendations of only 10 that I had when I started interacting. The first two weeks my average rose like foam, after 5 weeks it has gone down considerably.

Sorry for my english!!

It is black box

Hello everybody, I do not want to distract attention out of this interesting question but I also wonder why Hirsch index in RG is (much) different by Hirsch index in other collections, for instance in Thomson Reuters. The same question for citations, what RG presents is much different by what Google scholar indicates. Is this indexing or counting exclusively a matter of collection? The calculation procedure for hirsch is very clear but the result is much different in different collections. In this case which index to consider if requested in professional needs? Maybe that one which is more convenient if we may choose? But this has not any sense… Better not focus on any such reputation and scorings.

Dear Dr. Sharma, indeed this scoring should be a way of measuring scientific reputation. Unfortunately, it is not quite as you stated. I had this observation to RG admin when I finally accepted to join RG at the end of Oct 2017. I aware that scoring can be easily made-up if have some "friends", colleagues or other persons to provide recommendations blindly or by mutual interest, as I already noticed around. I got the answer that they work to improve this but also that they present a member in varius lights/criteria just to allow others get a more correct/real view. Nevertheless I think we should not rely on such scoring too much, neither believe totally that it reflects the scientific reputation. Regards.

I think RG score is a false metric that measures scientific reputations. I have seen many person having more than 100 RG score with very low research profile. Many research gate members have earned high RG score only on the basis of questions and answers. So RG score should not be a tool for measuring scientific reputation. h index is much better option

This is how you get your score.

This is the most

This is the most confident link that you may know how your activities effect your RG reputation.

Sir very interesting question and every body is anxious to know how exactly the score is worked out.

Yes the link given by H Baris Tecimen and Harry Barton Essel gives the answer to the question raised by Dr Sheth

Sir person of your level thinks of RG Reputation? You have reached high- above all such things

Give maximum time to RG Colleagues and interact with us Forget RG score Sir

I believe RG must be running some software based on the various activities as shown by members and accordingly the RG score is revised.

No idea and not interested
