The details implies that if i need to know how much one my article has actually contributed towards my over all RG score, can i know that from RG website. I am not talking about the overall score,just needed to know how much one of my article has contributed towards my score?

I believe some scores are constant based on the impact of the journal you published in. The rest are based on interactions (answers, questions, citation, and recommendation). Concerning the decrease in scores, my guess would be that some people probably unfollowed you. Their is also a possibility that RG does not have a perfect algorithm to measure the interaction of scholars on here.
I want to ask something about RG score (rating). Somewhat related to your discussion, somewhat not, please understand?! My question is: Why was my RG score (rating) here in the RG falling? Already 2 times instead of increasing or standing in the same state, it falls? Can anyone tell me why it does?

This issue about RG score algorithm is very complicated and till now no one has given valid explanations on how it can be calculated.
We just take it the way it comes, the RG administrative section did not provide such information. It still remain unfounded and a mystery waiting to be demystified by any one on this platform.
I probably did not say right, maybe ?! This is my personal rating. For example, summer was 2.14, then dropped to 1.94. Now, the previous week was 5. 14, it's currently at 5.09, how's it going and why? Thank you for the answers, I expect them because I want to know what's going on? The purpose is to rise, and it falls, why it falls, what is the reason?

Looks like my question has raised more questions than answers...I hope the RG authorities do read some of this to reply what is detailed mechanism of adjusting scores?
Yes Igael Azoulay
I agree with you. In fact RG score probably can;t interpret the quality of written stuff within any post, and thus any post count whether its relevant or otherwise. But still it gives some measure to assess to the research activity, albeit not even close to real researcher's expectations.
The comparison with Google scholar can be made but then it doesn't allow such like discussion which sometimes really generates quality replies, new ideas and definitely a interactive forum to learn from each other.
However, there is room for improvement, and i guess we don;t want this to stop at least but to improve.
Kind regards
@Julia it is first time I heard that the RG scores had fallen. Could this be attributed to unfollowing of your members or inactivity for long periods etc.
RG score falling or rising, the main purpose of the platform goes beyond the score but for researchers interactions, sharing research items, discussion among others.
Dear Helen Gouse , it's definitely not due to the things you've listed, because I'm constant, I spend time on the platform, I'm answering, and so on. I am also very puzzled, and not once, and for the second time, as I pointed out, it is getting smaller, the result is falling. Am I deeply disappointed ?!
Colleagues, this is not about my scientific publications. Once again, I will make it clear: twice my score falls down? Why? It's normal not to get up, stay in one place, but do not think it's right 2 times to fall down? That's what I'm talking about ?!
i agree with Julia Doncheva
Tthe scoring system seems to be confusing sometime. So i added this query and many supported this part. Yes it goes down and up but not sure why real article doesn't get more marks.
Sometimes just adding I agree and then a recommendation gives you far more reads than something really scientific you contribute and share.
It may be a logistic issue that we expect RG authorities to do it all so must have an algorithmic system but i am not sure. Sometimes u do feel disappointed.
Regards
The scoring system depends on the extent of the activity of the participants in terms of questions and answers and in terms of publication, which can be increased and decreased accordingly. As for the degree of increase or decrease in fact, I do not know how it was calculated actually.
a lot of things such as followers, citation, reads, questions and answers
