Google calculates the potential impact value of a paper and then cites it in Google Scholar base. Google Scholar does not care if it is a conference paper or not. The potential impact value of a paper might consist of how many scholar have read it and if it is useful for future.

This is the reason why an organisation will have to recognise a paper as a research paper if it can be accessible by Google Scholar very soon, because many have recognised a journal is a reputable one if it can be cited or indexed by Google Scholar.

ResearchGate believe that reads are most important, because if a paper can be read more, then the chance that it can be cited will be more.

Google Scholar should find a paper in the usual places on the Web within a week.

ResearchGate, however does not find your papers. You have to load a copy onto your profile, so manual addition is the only way. Once it is there, or anywhere else (not behind a paywall) Scholar can find it. Google calculates its impact factor based on all those papers it can find. ResearchGate will calculate an index based on what you have uploaded to ResearchGate. If it is not there ResearchGate will not use it.

Google Scholar may have been asked to remove your IARIA paper because of copyright concerns.

Usually 2 to 4 days and definitely under a week

It usually takes less than a month. It is also OK to add them manually.

As Zhaohao Sun explains, Google Scholar index "helps" the university to get some idea of the scholarly impact of your papers, but ResearchGate is an additional aid to help researchers to actually read (and potentially cite) your papers. The more publicity, the more reads and potential cites.

I agree with Dr. Sun and Prof. Kennedy on their contribution. Google index web-based databases including RG; on the other hand, RG only recognize citation from articles within its database and not external databases.

By the way, the current version of the RG has the capability to automatically find and announce researchers about the paper it founds and might be authored by them. It seems that the RG has now a general search engine capability.

Hi Ian,

Many thanks for your answer. My IARIA paper is not captured by Google till now (almost one month) and its online without any paywall, open access. Also, I don't think that Google Scholar has been asked to remove it because of copyright concerns. The publisher said confirmed that.

Regarding RG, Yes I agree and I will upload the paper.

Thank you again.

Hi Borden Mushonga,

It took around 2 days for my ACM paper, but it seems context-dependent issue.

Hi Mohamed EL-Shimy

Thanks for your answer, I think it depend on publisher, some take longer than others.

Thanks

Rawad

Hi Zhaohao Sun,

Many thanks for your detailed answer. Google Scholar and Research Gate are different, I agree. I will have a look at your paper science of research.

once again, many thanks

Rawad

Hi Harry Barton,

Thank you for your answer.

Rawad

Refer this article for useful information......

Thanks Vivek for sharing this useful article

Thanks Murad, but this seems related to publishers. I differs from one case to another. My ACM paper appeared in less than 2 days, IEEE took more time, IARIA did not, so I added them manually.

Regards,

Rawad

It should appear in about two weeks max!

Thanks Abdullah, my conclusion is this differs from one publisher to another. The paper is published since March and not recognised till now, but can be added manually.

Thanks

Rawad

It recognizes your papers if they are available online or if they have DOI immediately even if you enter them manually.

The score is only updated once per week.

If after publication of an article, monograph or other type of scientific publication and / or information about citations, it does not appear, is not added to the user's profile on the Research Gate portal, Google Scholar or other database of indexation of scientific publications, it is worth checking whether there is a possibility of manual, self-adding publications and / or specific information on a published scientific publication and adding manually. In most popular scientific publication indexation portals it is usually possible to manually add publications and / or specific information about it. In the absence of manual addition of publications, you can send to the administrator, to the site of a specific portal, a query, a message, a request to add the indicated publication to your profile on a specific indexation of scientific publications. It often happens that the indicated collection of scientific and publishing achievements, including published scientific texts and the number of citations is not the same on individual portals and indexes of scientific publications. For example, on the profiles of many researchers and scientists, these listed publications and citations often differ when comparing the listed publications and citations on the research Gate portal and Google Scholar.
