I've noticed that some of my publications uploaded to ResearchGate receive citation counts that do not appear in Google Scholar, and vice versa. This discrepancy causes inconsistencies in the total number of citations reflected across the two platforms. Is there a way to synchronize or link citation data between ResearchGate and Google Scholar to ensure consistency in citation counts?I would greatly appreciate any insights or recommendations on how to align or update citation metrics across both platforms. Thank you in advance!
There is no way to link citations between these two platforms. See https://www.researchgate.net/post/Why_citation_score_for_author_publications_looks_different_on_Scopus_research_gate_google_scholar and my list of links to related discussions therein. How to add missing citations is possibly the most frequently asked question here at ResearchGate.
Dear Ashikur Rahman Nazil Why ask this question? As far as I can see none of your 'publications' received a citation here on RG and I was only able to find one 'article' in GS
Deleted research item The research item mentioned here has been deleted
which received no citation as well.PS. I suspect this is an AI generated 'paper' where most of the references are non-existing (one of the known flaws of AI is that it makes up phony references), or are you able to provide the link to

While there isn't a direct way to automatically link citations between ResearchGate and Google Scholar, you can link your profiles and manually update your publications to harmonize their information. Here's how:
1. Link your profiles:
- ResearchGate profile:Edit your ResearchGate profile and add a link to your Google Scholar profile in the "About" section.
- Google Scholar profile:You can add your ResearchGate profile URL to your Google Scholar profile's "Home Page" field.
2. Update publications and citations:
- Manual updates:Add or update publication details on both platforms to ensure they are consistent. This includes adding missing publications and correcting inaccurate information.
- Google Scholar button:You can use the Google Scholar button on ResearchGate to import publications from Google Scholar to ResearchGate.
3. Understanding the limitations:
- Separate databases: ResearchGate and Google Scholar have their own databases and citation indexing systems.
- No automatic synchronization: There's no automatic way to synchronize citation counts between the two platforms.
- Indexing differences: Google Scholar indexes a broader range of sources than ResearchGate.
By linking your profiles and manually updating your publications, you can create a more complete and consistent picture of your scholarly work across both platforms.
