Actually, there is no accurate (or totally not found) a common or mutual cooperation between academic platforms including RG, so that means there are variations in the total number of citation and consequently total value of h-index.

Before few months, I asked how to unify academic evaluation parameter like h-index in all academic platform?

I side with you. The RG database is slow in tracking citations when compared with Google scholar. Anyway, both of them have different systems in tracking citations.

It is slow but it works

very good only for references already in the newtwork. Not sure about those from outside

In some of old research, RG has been unable to track publication / citatation or a difference in the language used or pattern of printing

It is rather slow.

I think the RG database is good in this area .

I agree with Emad

It's slow, but it works according to a certain system different from Google Scholar.

There is no perfect system but it is effective

Thanks for responses. Yes it is rather slow takes some time to update relevant information.

Dear Waqas

please view this link:

Thanks Abbas Biglar, i can see now that RG updates it citation database after 1 day and google citation database is much slower.

Its good. Generally it works

I agree with Dr. Emad and I see it works slowly.

I am satisfied

Programmed one. no worries, it runs safely.

I think RG database in detecting citation is good enough.

In my opinion, ResearchGate database is good in detecting citations.

All I can judge is my own record. On Google Scholar, it shows 566 on RG it shows 260. I know both are low but they keep increasung. Honestly, this is not why I enjoy RG and continue to appreciate its value.

I entirely agree with Dr. Amir. To my experience, RG database on citation detection is not an exclusive one. If we compare RG database with Google Scholar database, more or less RG database is less by 40 to 50% compared to Google Scholar one. One of the main reasons is not all the researchers who cited our paper has been using the RG.

Best!

RG performance seems to better in case of early detection, but is dependent upon paper being added into RG databse by author.

interesting discussion

Dear , Waqas Mahmood ..

I agree with Drs. Arvind and Mahesh ( Research Gate database is good in detecting citations ).

Regards

When comparing with Google Scholar Data Base, RG Data Base is slow for detecting citations.

Only for publication presented on RG - it is possible,

but not for the others articles

Dear respected and powerful Waqas Mahmood,

In my own opinion, RG is good in detecting citation and work well. Best regards.

Informative.

Hi

the website given by our colleague Abbas Biglar gives the answers.

Researchgate does not detect anything by itself. A paper is registered in the RG base only if you or some co-author have uploaded it.

You can have a look at a short note I wrote about a comparison between RG, Scopus, Google Scholar and Web of Knowledge.

I published this research note only through Researchgate, which allowed me to give this paper a DOI. This makes this paper unique, in a sense that it can not be duplicated, but it has not been "edited" by a private group which journals are indexed by Elsevier (Scopus) or Clarivate analytics (WOK).

The only way this kind of publications can be known is by sharing it between researchers through free access platforms like RG.

To go further, I am thinking about creating a peer reviewed journal that would be only published through RG for instance. What do you think about it ?

sorry for multiple copies. I received each time a message saying that the message was not valid... so I tried several times

Its slow.. if we compare RG to google
