Are the published articles in RG good to be references in my research ?
i think rg article are not a good source, because everyone can upload a file even if it not peer reviewed. you can use scholar article or databses such as sciencedirect, and if you need free downloaded articles use sci-hub.tw
To elaborate some on the question and answers it is important to do several things:
1 - If the article or chapter is published by a reputable publishers/academic society it is probably worth considering.
2 - Make sure the journal or publisher is NOT a predatory source. Even with this, some reputable journals have published very poor quality articles, so be careful about every one.
2 - Some members of RG put a paper they are working on into their "Research Items" list when they should put it into the "Projects"k category, and thus these should not be cited unless there is some very important reason to contact the researcher and list it as 'personal information' in the paper (can be in citations in some journals, others in text).
good question
No, not all of them, you can see the papers and judge on them by your self after reading

Just check the publishers and journals when the articles have beem published.
Depended on which publisher and journals with a high impact factor.
Yes, it is enough.
Although it wouldn't have all indexing, some will be in publisher website too.
First of all refer the articles and get advice from your superiors expertised on that field.
Every author can benefit from researchgate by choosing the best research from different authors also try to check the journals that they publish in it before getting these articles as a reference
I don't think so.
I will only cite articles from journals with good reputation.
Publishing is useful to let others know your works, but when you adopt a research as a source, be careful
@ Amal Suleiman
ResearchGate does not publish articles, rather published articles in journals are uploaded by researchers to their accounts. Certainly you will get large number of good uploaded articles on the site, which you can use as references for your research work.
Thanks!
Research articles uploaded in RG platform that was published in good journals can be cited for your research work or preparation of manuscript.
Dear Amal Suleiman,
RG does not publish articles, but it is a platform that allows you to access articles issued by its members.

Some are good, some not... Choice is yours, and which one you prefer.
No, RG is an academic platform and not publisher, so we have to follow and respect publishing copyrights.
In RG just we are adding our published papers! and it is one of the social media. RG will not publish the articles.
The RG good determines the best knowledge of its researchers
So of course yes
It depends on the article context and the journal so whether in RG or other site you will seek the same infos to decide if the paper is a good reference or no...
It depends on when the paper has been published. So be careful not all the researchs in RG are high quailty.
Dear Amal,
RG is considered a platform that researchers can share the publications and other works in.
The journal in which the article is published would give a reasonable sign of the quality of the article.
All the best though.

Why not, it's depend on the methods that the author has used in his article it is good and adding a value and solving a problem or not.
Finally, i can say you can select if the Research Gate is a good source for your reference or no. But you have consider the copyright law.
