How can I increase the visibility of my papers in research gate?
I don't know how long you've been on RG, but it can take sometime for people to find you. Asking interesting questions and providing useful answers can help. It can encourage people to take a look at your RG file.

Looking at your file I see your work is very specialised. You might start some discussions on subjects within your specialist area.
Good luck

Engaging in debate on specialist areas could help, but I find that you get the most engagement on questions that’s are broader and sometimes even nonacademic. Questions like, ”Is silence a show of strength or weakness” or “Meaning of happiness“ or “ Are you living your life the way intended” tend to get a lot of responses sometimes into the hundreds. Asking questions and commenting on other people’s presentations or projects is another way. Basically you have to be an active user on the site. However, what does increasing your RG score do for you anyway? Does it mean more people will see your profile listed first in your department or university? That’s rG recommends your publications?
Well, yes Sabine. But, Haithem wants readers for his specialist papers. Your idea may bring people in, but will they search Haithem's "Contributions"? It's a big ask!
NOCK
thanks alot Christopher Nock and Sabine Franklin for your answering, well RG score important to evaluate our activity in my university, I am recent with researchgate
Haithem,
RG is nothing to be scared of, but it does take time to get used to it! Nobody can really work out how RG scores are actually calculated. So I'm surprised your university would attach much weight to them!
RG claim you can increase your score by adding issues for debate and answers to other people's issues. I have had weeks where I've achieved over 1,000 reads and seen no real increase in my score! I think Sabine's score has improved a lot over the past year or two.
NOCK
Keep adding materials such as journal papers, conference papers, reports, etc. You can also engage yourself is discussions relevant or irrelevant to your field.
Good luck
What Usama say is quite true. You're in a slightly awkward position because your work is so specialised. You might also look at who's on RG that shares your research interests and "follow" them. If they return the compliment that improves your visibility. I think you might be able to recommend some of your own work--maybe via the "More" button (top left, all pages).
Try everything!
NOCK
Thank you so much deeply from my heart Christopher Nock for valuable advises, I am truly very grateful your important answers.
