I can mention some things that RG are not:

1. It is not a very varied database of scientific publications, as plenty of papers are not allowed to be posted, due to copyright rules.

2. It is not a moderated site; in other words there is no scientific board which guarantees that the content has been screened for correctness, timeliness, and relevance. That is very clear from a quick look at the posts - far too many unscientific papers are posted, and there is also a lot of blatant phishing.

3. It is not a very balanced site, as plenty of important subjects are either excluded, or some scientific communities simply aren't here for whatever reason.

RG is an excellent environment for opienions discussion regarding difficulties that researchersare facing, throught RG they canc ommunicate and getting the appropriate solutions, enables them to get answers from interested researchers who have sufficient experience in those areas and can provide a help.

How can scientific achievements be measured?

I believe that there is no direct, strict correlation in this matter, because the RG score is made up of many factors. The algorithm generating the RG score is complex, it includes many determinants, areas of scientific activity and in this way it is a highly objective result. However, if you are asking about the assessment of the quality of your scientific activity, the number of citations of scientific publications is one of the most important indicators in this respect. On the other hand, each point system will never be perfect, because the quality of scientific activity, including the quality of scientific research and scientific publications containing the results of these research is mainly non-quantifiable, non-quantitative, only of a qualitative nature. In addition, research conducted in various fields of knowledge and science are often not comparable because they sometimes relate to a completely different nature of knowledge. One field of knowledge and science is more of a quantitative nature, others more qualitative. Some generate implementation possibilities, such as in technical and technological sciences, while others, more humanistic or artistic ones, generate added values for learning and people's lives in a completely different way. Therefore, even the same RG point score but for other fields of science does not necessarily mean the same assessment, because specific fields of knowledge may not be comparable. However, there is a need to build and improve the system of evaluation of scientific achievements and scientific activity according to a specific formula and with the consideration of specific determinants. It seems to me that the Research Gate portal does it very well.

Can the qualitative nature of scientific activity be precisely measured by the scoring system?

The qualitative nature of scientific activity is not easy to precisely measure with the scoring system. In many discussions, the question arises about the algorithm for quantifying scientific activity on the RG portal. In my opinion, taking into account the complex algorithm of the RG quantitative indicator of scientific activity, it is necessary to develop the scientific activity in a multi-directional way, conducting interesting scientific research and writing scientific publications containing the results of these research. In addition, one should also be active in other fields of scientific activity. In addition, I do not think there is a direct, close correlation between the quantitative measurement and the assessment of the added value of scientific activity for science, because the RG score is made up of many different types of factors. The algorithm generating the RG score is complex, it includes many determinants, areas of scientific activity and in this way it is a highly objective result. However, if you are asking about the assessment of the quality of your scientific activity, the number of citations of scientific publications is one of the most important indicators in this respect. On the other hand, each point system will never be perfect, because the quality of scientific activity, including the quality of scientific research and scientific publications containing the results of these research is mainly non-quantifiable, non-quantitative, only of a qualitative nature. In addition, research conducted in various fields of knowledge and science are often not comparable because they sometimes relate to a completely different nature of knowledge. One field of knowledge and science is more of a quantitative nature, others more qualitative. Some generate implementation possibilities, such as in technical and technological sciences, while others, more humanistic or artistic ones, generate added values ??for learning and people's lives in a completely different way. Therefore, even the same RG point score but for other fields of science does not necessarily mean the same assessment, because specific fields of knowledge may not be comparable. However, there is a need to build and improve the system of evaluation of scientific achievements and scientific activity according to a specific formula and with the consideration of specific determinants. It seems to me that the Research Gate portal does it very well.

Can there be major differences in the question of the scientific value between articles written by one or many authors?

I noticed that in the diccetics conducted on the smaller Research Gate portal there are often considerations in the subject below. Multinationality is dominant in many countries, most of scientific articles, especially those that were created as a result of research projects, have a team of authors and not one author. However, in some countries, more texts are created with one author, which is related to the specificity of research, the culture of organization and research and development or scientific and didactic activity. In addition, it may also be conditioned by the national specificity of the dominant standards in the field of conducted scientific-research or scientific-didactic activity. In my opinion, therefore, you can not objectively answer the question, which scientific articles, with one author or with many authors can or are usually more scientifically valuable? Both numerous authors are determined by many factors as well as whether the scientific article will present valuable scientific results is also determined by many factors. These two quarters, i.e. the number of authors in scientific articles and the scientific value of these articles, in my opinion, are not closely related to each other. on the other hand, multi-authoricity has its positive aspects, in terms of conducting research in a team model, exchanging scientific experiences, citing articles, and formulating constructive conclusions. However, this does not necessarily prejudge that multi-author texts can more often present more valuable scientific results. In my opinion, there is no such rule. Texts with one author have their positive qualities as well as texts with many authors also have their positive aspects, they do not always have to be the same aspects.

How does functioning at the Research Gate portal help you carry out research?

First of all, functioning on the Research Gate portal, I establish contacts with researchers, scientists conducting similar or similar research. Developing contacts in the world of science is the opportunity to meet scientists with whom I could conduct joint research projects, joint research, analytical processes. It is possible to collect data collectively, eg from surveys carried out by members of an international research team, including people who operate in other countries. In this way, you can compare the results of research on an international basis. You can conduct a comparative analysis and write a joint article text for publication. There are so many opportunities to develop contacts in the world of science thanks to the functioning of the Research Gate portal.

Therefore, in the context of the above considerations, the following important question appears:

Should the Research Gate research portal be the most important scientific portal globally?

In my opinion, the research base and Research Gate portal should be the most important scientific portal globally. Research Gate Portal should automatically connect and download data about scientists and their scientific achievements from other websites and databases of indexing scientific publications. The Research Gate portal should develop in this way to acquire and create new communication functions that facilitate communication between scientists conducting research in the same field but functioning in different places of the globe. To this end, artificial intelligence instruments should be developed in algorithms of information retrieval systems similar to those projects that are already being developed by some other social media portals.

Do you agree with my opinion on this matter?

During these discussions, researchers and scientists will get to know different perspectives, other interpretations and assessments for specific proposals for new research projects. During the exchange of views, new research concepts are verified and the best, most effective solutions for international research projects are often developed.

Research discussions conducted at the Research Gate research portal can be an inspiration for binding and developing international research teams working on analogous and the same research topics or conducting research in the same international research projects. International research teams can bring added value to the world of science related to the issue of internationalization and globalization of key themes and research projects.

In addition, discussions conducted on the Research Gate research portal may be an important factor of information globalization for specific, new, important topics within which research is conducted. The Research Gate portal is a representative of new online media, thanks to which topics relevant to humanity and the planet can be developed internationally.

Dear Friends and Colleagues of RG,

The above discussion inspired me to the following considerations:

Does the Research Gate research portal offer the most information services for researchers that researchers and scientists need?

There is probably no other science portal that would offer all the same functions for researchers as the Research Gate portal.

Do you agree with me on the above matter?
