Dear ResearchGate...  Are you reading these posts?  Is there a way to simplify it so that anyone who joins RG to get an "RG Score" up and running without these limitations and complications.  Leave it to us in academia to make the simple things difficult!!!

it seems that the RG score is activated after a week of subscribing

Same trouble overhere, been a member, had an active RG Score; now, is gone. Don't know why, don't know how to fix this. 

Dear friends

Your RG score is activated after it reaches to 1. I have the same problem and emailed the website admin and they told your score  now is 0.01.

I also have an RG score but it is inactive now, since researchgate change the page.

So, I have the same problem, and I don't know why, and how can I activate it?

I have the same problem, Thogh I upload/communicate, my RG score is inactive.

I also have same problem.

I also have an RG score but it is inactive now, since researchgate identify my publications and Q&A! this situation is existence since 2 years!

Interesting observation: on my profile my RG score is inactive, but if I open one of my publications the scores of all authors are visible, including mine too.

Dear friends

If your RG score is still  inactive, Don't worry! Login to your researchgate profile( home page) and then open for example a suggested paper of your following researchers. At the end of opened page, you  should click on "comments".  Then you can see your current RG score under your name. you can see it only here. My RG score now is 0.8 and less than 1. So I can not see it in my profile until it reaches to 1!

Good luck

Yes, the RG score becomes active when it reaches to 1

.

But you have to pay attention that your RG score may go down.

Hi all, 

Yes, your RG score becomes active when it hits 1, but is still tracked in the background before that point (other people can see it when they click your publications).

Do as Mr Mohammad Fereshtehpour  posted and you will see your RG score. mine is 0.67

My RG score disappeared for some reason, i think its happened when the website was updated. When i try to click on my score, it says inactive. 

i think that you should have large number of citations to increase your RG score

Mine is inactive too.

Dear Sandeep Rawal, You are genious, Yes,

First: click Export your profile as a CV 

then open it, in Word file it will show you Your RG score... 

It will be activated once it reaches 1. However, you can check your RG score anytime under each of your publications. Go to your profile>Contributions>Click one Publication and there your can find the RG score.

 Dear friends I am also facing the same problem, RG score is Inactive. According to Rocco Cavaleri RG score is tracked in the background before that point, I follow the same procedure but it's not fruitful.......  :(

I agree with Mohammad Fereshtehpour and did the same when i started RG

I, as a new comer, have the same issue 

I have the same problem. My RG score is inactive.

Thanks for the explanation. Now it makes sense as I already have publications and connections and followed questions.

I have the same problem

I had a score before but now it is showing inactive

So do I.

I have the same problem

Me too :)

same problem...

same problem

same problem

I think it just takes time. If you wait for a few weeks, it will be ok.

Same problem

My RG score has reached to 2 but still it is not being displayed.. What to do???

Don't worry about the RG score it will be automatically displayed, once you reached the desired target. Take Participation in Q &A, and by doing some research activities you will get this.   

I did a quick review to the useful techniques to boost your citations.  I classify them as before, during, and after submission.

First: Before submitting

a. Before writing

1. Write high impact paper (Creative; Across disciplines; Hot topic;  )

2. Publish with international authors.

3. Team-authored articles get cited more.

b.While writing

4. Cite your relevant past works (preferably at the first two sentences).

5. Make title short.

6. Carefully choose your keywords (indexed better) and use them in your title and  abstract.

7. Use a consistent form of your name on all your papers.

8. Publish your article in one of the journals everyone in your discipline read.

Second: When submitting

9. Publish in journal with high impact factor.

10. Make your paper easily accessible (consider good open-access journal.)

Third: After submitting

a. Before Acceptance

11. Post your pre- or post-publication prints. Find publisher’s copyright and self-archiving policies.

b. After Acceptance

12. Ask for e-print from the journal or green open access.

13. Buy open-access right if possible.

14. Promote your work to well known researchers in the area.

15. Use social media. Make sure there are as many links as possible to your article, e.g. from your institute's website, Wikipedia, LinkedIn (used by 65 percent of the researchers)

16. Elsevier's Scopus is the world's largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature. Keep it up-to-date so others can find your article.

17. Keep your professional web pages (personal & university) and published lists up to date and keyword your article.

To 'activate' your RG score you got to get active on RG. Upload your work, network with your colleagues and peers. Seek out questions you can answer. It is all about helping out your peers that gets you recognised and slowly gets your RG score climbing up.

I have the same problem..

I have the same problem. My RG score is inactive.

Guys, just read the thread and you will find some good answers (See, i.e. Markos Konstantakis' answer or; Basharat Ahmad's).

The RG score activate as it reaches 1 as value. So, you will have to upload your work and contribute in different ways to the platform. Then, your score will improve. It is not just about getting a score, but knowing also what it stands for.

Hope this helps you.

Dear all,

Just click Export your profile as a CV, then open it in Word file it will show you Your RG score.

regards

Dear RG,

I think it would be great if you appoint some people to respond to questions like this.

I have the same problem. My RG score is also inactive

I also have same problem. Mine is inactive too.

Dear, Mr. Ammar Zemzemi

I have RG score of 0.84. I cannot see it in my profile, What Should I do, Please Suggest

i have same problem , what should i do and how to increase RG score ?

But I have seen, being less number of publications, reads and citations many others have the RG score more than me, So what else are require to increase the RG score?

Have been on research gate for years with several publications i have never seen this RG score. kindly help and advice.

Since im new here i got the same question. Does our papers or articles should be cited for getting a RG score or what?! Please help me too!

I followed the last answer and it was possible to see! Thanks ;)

i have the same problem

Dear Tao Li, I believe that the RG score increases with publications ([Article]) in journals with some special indexation. The better the journal (IF, etc), the more the RG score increases. Conference papers, presentations, posters, etc, will not help you.

which journal give more citation number

I have the same problem. That is why some studies question about this RG score and how it is calculated.

It is almost one year, but still not showing any score. Kind help please.

i've already have 6 citations, and nothing happen. :)

i have 16 citations and still nothing shows on my score tab.

i hve 3.46 RG score but nothing shows on my tab

I have the same problem

I have the same problem

I also have the same problem

i have added one paper on August 2018, but score is not increasing. I also have the same problem. What need to do any one suggest me please?

I have a problem with my RG score l nothing shows on my score tab. !!!!!! What need to do any one suggest me please

Me too, My scores inactivate !!

@Abarda yours is not inactive, it is active on your profile. for others asking the same question, you have to either participate in Q/A of the website, or add a published paper. note that preprints are not effective for your score. And of course one more thing, you have to wait. RG scores do not change instantly and it takes time for them to be recalculated.

thank you for answer

Thank you @Shakeri for this response
