Considero que mediante Reserchgate , se pueden reforzar las redes de investigación, se puede acceder más fácilmente a documentos científicos, se puede realizar la verificación de documentos y autores, se pueden generar búsqueda de documentos e investigadores por categorías y áreas.

Para mí ha sido de gran beneficio.

Espero mi respuesta sea de utilidad.

Éxitos a todos!!!

Good morning

In my opinion is a very good way to know people and to find information related to our reaserchs

The only negative point is that I do not how they evaluated ours contibutions. I have many of then and I am not abe to see the grades that Reaserch gives.

When I started my PhD research (1991) the internet as information source was very limited. Help for research came from your direct colleagues in the same group or a lab in the same building, sometimes through a contact from one of your colleagues. Compared to the situation now, it felt like reinventing the wheel over and over again. Therefore, I try to answer the various questions that appear on RG when possible since much of the knowledge needed is not readily available in the form of publications. The benefit for me......well the RG score goes up, I get more followers and my answers occasionally get recommended. That's nice but that is not the reason for me to add answers, the fact I can help is.

The few questions I asked were answered quickly and these were very helpful. I also got new and helpful contacts/information through RG when requesting papers.

RG is an important asset and would benefit from more senior scientists to be active members.

Thank you Dr. Eric van der Graaff for sharing your experiences.

I have been able to place all my published articles in RG & also unpublished research material as data & reach global researchers . The reads give me an idea how my work is evaluated , when I view the statistics . This is an important benefit of being an active member . I am able to do projects & view the relevant published articles & also interact with the authors . I can request them to send their articles , which I cannot access . I am able to participate in Q&A , which is very informative .

Thank you so much Dr Singh Shivakumar for sharing your kind experiences in RG. Yes, evaluation is also an important thing that we can get from this platform. Direct interaction with authors and research collaborations are also easily accessible. Q&A section is also very helpful in getting a large information very quickly. Thanks a lot for highlighting these valuable things.

With best regards

Thank you so much Dr Shibabrata Pattanayak for the nice contribution. Yes, discovering great peoples is also an important benefit. It is really very nice to discover generous professionals who are serving as helping hands to young researchers.

Sincere thanks to all the RG colleagues.

I believe that this platform is useful for achieving social and scientific communication with colleagues with a distinguished experience in the field of academic and research works.

Thank you so much Dr Isam Issa Omran for the valuable contribution. Yes, it is very true that this platform also helps in developing social communication skills between different levels, skills, expertise etc. It is very nice espicially for students to communicate with and follow experts of different fields.

With best regards

ResearchGate is a very good academic social network on the Web. In your question statement, you have mentioned the benefits of being a member of ResearchGate. Dr. Shibabrata Pattanayak also indicated the points.

We are availing these facilities in our social, academic and research activities.

Hi,

Rg has several benefits for the scientists. I believe, that like Facebook will replace ordinary newspapers, RG will replace scientific journals and reviews. In addition, RG can more efficient than these scientific reviews in many dimensions like: the importance of research, originality, ....

And can spend a short time to make a dicision relative to any paper.

With my best wishes!

Dr. Adel OUESLATI

Thank you Dr Asit Kumar Batabyal for the valuable contribution. Yes it provides different facilities for easy accessing social, academic and research activities.

With best regards

Thank you so much Dr Adel Oueslati for the nice contribution. Yes, I strongly agree that RG helps a lot in updating information with reliable sources and further detail information is also easily accescible. So, its expected to be better than any other scientific reviews/ journals/ periodical/ newspapers. All these thing are easily accesible in short duration, convinent time and avialable at fingertips. Spending short time helps a lot in updating and gaining important informations.

With best regards

I have direct access to the best brains in my research area, and I am able to freely request materials from them. This has had a very positive impact on my work.

Thank you so much Dr Samuel Frimpong for the valuable contribution. Having direct access to the best brains in relevant research area along with free sources is a very great thing. A live interaction with them is also easily feasible in this platform.

With best regards

Cheers to everyone. It is active members like you who make this platform worthwhile for all of us!

I personally have met new collaborators (one paper already submitted and another on the way) and joined intelligent conversations (like this one) that are often not available in day-to-day life.

Thank you all!

Thank you so much Dr Colton for the nice contribution and appreciation.

Congrats and best wishes for your future works.

With best regards

I think this is a good question to get discuss it right now.

REGARDS

Thank you dear Doha for the comment.

Thank you Dr viji yiji for the comment.

Hi,

Thank you for your good and interesting question,

I say Yes, RG is very important to development my skills as language ,scientific information and the better is to meeting good academic friends👭👬👫 from different countries.

Good luck

In my opinion, sharing of knowledge, experience and publications are the main benefits of being an active member on ResearchGate.

To me, ResearchGate is a professional network where scientists and researchers can share and access scientific output, knowledge, and expertise. It is a social networking site for scientists and researchers to share papers, ask and answer questions, and find collaborators. According to a study by Nature and an article in Times Higher Education, it is the largest academic social network in terms of active users, although other services have more registered users and more recent data suggests that almost as many academics have Google Scholar profiles.

Interaction with colleagues of different disciplines is very useful from learning point of view. Closeness with so many colleagues, nice and warm exchange of ideas, development of good understanding, appreciation and recommendations give me lots of pleasure. Really it's a wonderful platform to have so many intelligent and worthy colleagues which make me learn a lot.

Thanks

I do agree with Dr Arvind and Dr Mahesh

Why do you use ResearchGate and what do you use it for / hope to get in return?

Good discussion. See the link:

Although I consider myself as a begging researcher, being a member of the ResearchGate made my work more visible and let me feel as a well-known researcher. Also, ResearchGate enables me to know the new published study in my fields. It helps me connect with researchers who I knew and I don't know. Sometimes, I may not be aware of the latest publications of my colleagues although they are close to me but through ResearchGate, I can get notifications of their work and catch up.

Good point - knowledge about latest publications in the field of interest; one of the important benefits. I agree with this.
