My father was a university professor in the national defense. He wrote several scientific articles in the local university newspaper during his life. I would like to somehow publish these here on researchgate and in journals in English. How can the works of a deceased researcher be published?
This is a difficult question. At ResearchGate, you have to create an account for your father, but for this you have to contact RG's support team at https://www.researchgate.net/contact. See also https://explore.researchgate.net/display/support/Deceased+researchers. Then you may digitize, translate and upload your father's publications.
It will hardly be possible to find a jounal willing to publish old papers, but this will also depend on the importance of your father's publications. An alternative could be to publish a book with his collected papers, but again it will not be easy to find a publisher. If you are willing and able to pay for the publication, you will find a publisher, but be warned of predatory publishers - they will take your money and will not care about quality and the distribution of the book.
