I am a retired Professor of Public Health and a member in ResearchGate since many years with around 400 publications in international journals. At the moment I am writing as a comment about my professional experiences as professor at a newly founded School of Public Health at a German University after having returned to Germany from the USA to take a full professor position. This is my question:
Can I provide ResearchGate my above mentioned experience as pdf (not peer-reviewed but possible interesting for other public health scholars) so that other members in ResearchGate can read about my experience? Or can only peer-reviewed articles be made available?
You can provide ResearchGate your above mentioned experience as pdf (not peer-reviewed but possibly interesting for other public health scholars) so that other members in ResearchGate can read about your experience.
As a research expert, you can share your non-peer-reviewed experience on ResearchGate, but it's important to clearly distinguish it from peer-reviewed work. While ResearchGate allows you to upload various types of content, including presentations, reports, and personal experiences, labeling them as "non-peer-reviewed" helps maintain transparency.
Sharing your role as a professor at a newly founded School of Public Health can showcase your expertise and contributions, but ensure that it is framed as part of your professional journey rather than formal, peer-reviewed research.
Yes, you can share your professional experiences as a PDF on ResearchGate. ResearchGate allows members to upload a variety of content, including non-peer-reviewed material like comments, reports, and personal reflections, as long as it is relevant to the academic community.
