I hope everyone is fine and everything is going well

I have a question from you:

From time to time, the ResearcGate site sends the titles of articles from certain researchers for my use, this is a very good thing because it makes me aware of their articles and of course it increases their citations.

How can I activate this possibility of ResearcGate for my articles?

Thank you in advance for your time

You cannot do anything on that. This function is called "Home feed", because selected publications are listed in the "Home" pages of members. ResearchGate shows your new publications automatically in the Home pages of those who follow you and sometimes also of those who have similar specialties. The "Home feed" is created by an automated algorithm. See also "Discover research" in https://explore.researchgate.net/display/support/Getting+started.

The citations increased according to titel of articles i.e applied subject hot one or not ,aids of confirmatory methods of diagnoses applied ,molecular one or not and finally publication journal scopus or not.

This does not really answer the question and I haven't been submitting articles for publication for quite a few years now, but ResearchGate keep letting me know about authors who have just cited me, and each is a pleasant surprise!

I seem still to be hearing about citations all these years ago since my work was published. It wasn't very easy to take a screen shot while still showing the citations!

Hello Ezatollah Sedaghatfar

The best way I found to increase citations is by taking to other researchers interested in the same area(s) such as at conferences but it may take a long time from when you talk to them to when your work is cited (when their work is published). It also depends, as Salameh Barhoom says, on the nature of your topic and how often people do related research/publications.

The general discussion is used for public relation but citations base on scientfic facts alloe for publication to pass scopus journal.

Dear Sir;

Here are the suggestions that I think it is helpful for you to refer and try for increasing your citations. They are as followed:

Cite your past work when it is relevant to a new manuscript. However, do not reference every paper you have written just to increase your citation count.

Carefully choose your keywords. Choose keywords that researchers in your field will be searching for so that your paper will appear in a database search.

Use your keywords and phrases in your title and repeatedly in your abstract. Repeating keywords and phrases will increase the likelihood your paper will be at the top of a search engine list, making it more likely to be read.

Use a consistent form of your name on all of your papers. Using the same name on all of your papers will make it easier for others to find all of your published work. If your name is very common, consider getting a research identifier, such as an ORCID. You can provide your ORCID in your email signature and link that ID to your publication list so that anyone you email has access to your publications.

Make sure that your information is correct. Check that your name and affiliation are correct on the final proofs of your manuscript and check that the paper’s information is accurate in database searches.

Make your manuscript easily accessible. If your paper is not published in an open-access journal, post your pre- or post-publication prints to a repository. Check SHERPA RoMEO to find your publisher’s copyright and self-archiving policies regarding sharing your published manuscript.

Share your data. There is some evidence that sharing your data can increase your citations. Consider posting to data sharing websites, such as figshare or SlideShare, or contributing to Wikipedia and providing links to your published manuscripts.

Present your work at conferences. Although conference presentations are not cited by other others, this will make your research more visible to the academic and research communities. Check out these tips for making the most of your next research conference.

Use social media. Provide links to your papers on social media (e.g., Google Scholar, Publon, Facebook, Twitter, Academia.edu, ResearchGate, Mendeley) and your university profile page.

Actively promote your work. Talk to other researchers about your paper, even ones not in your field, and email copies of your paper to researchers who may be interested. Create a blog or a website dedicated to your research and share it.

I wish you All the Best Sir may these tips help you in increasing your citations.
