Dear Dr. Brahmadev Panda ,

Here is the official answer:

"Why are some of my citations not shown?

We regularly import citation data from different sources and do our best to ensure accuracy. However, while citations using standard citation styles are usually extracted accurately on ResearchGate, there are some cases where this can be difficult.

Here are the most common cases where citations may be missing:

• When citations have incomplete metadata (e.g., publication date, journal, abstract)
• When the citing paper is not on ResearchGate
• When full-text PDFs are created by scanning a hard copy, we can't extract citations

If you recently added a publication to ResearchGate and notice that citations are missing, please be patient as this can take some time. Please also note that we aren't able to manually add your citations from other sources, e.g., Google Scholar.

We understand that it's frustrating when citations aren't displayed, so we're always working on new ways to improve how we extract and match citations."

Thank you very much Dr. AI-Amr, your answers are very much valuable for the researchers' community. I appreciate your reply on this discussion.

Brahmadev

I particularly smiled when I read the phrase here at RG: "we do our best to ensure accuracy". This phrase is meaningless, just as a phrase like "we are quality" or "we produce quality products". You all should know why those phrases are completely void of information: because they do NOT state whether the quality is GOOD or BAD. Read it again and you'll see what I mean. They are all useless. I particularly frown upon a phrase in which a researcher has stated that she or he has published a "quality paper". It means nothing.

It depends on the RG data base and the members status!

Thank you PatriKsson sir, your answer is really practical, so you suggest that citations in the RG is not required.

Regards

I did nothing of the kind, Brahmadev. I am simply tired of seeing - repeatedly - the wrong use of language. We risk misinterpreting things, and that might lead to grave errors.

You are absolutely right sir.

Thanks

Best way to get citations to be updated automatically in your research-gate profile is :

Upload full papers.
