Greeting! I just want to know for my experience, how to increase score on research gate? What type of score is this and is there any benefit for this score? Can we use it in our university for promotion?
Besides all the above-mentioned points, I want to add that RG is a platform and a gateway for sharing information and experiences between scientists, experts, researchers, and practitioners. In reality, RG is one of the biggest social media networks for the scientific community. Therefore, it is your way to increase your research visibility and, in turn, your citations.
Based on this, your research work should be open-access and free to all people unless there is a crucial need. This can be done during the addition process of any research work or publications by choosing "add a public file" instead of "add a private file".
Hi,
How to increase your scores on research gate ?
Simply, be good researcher:
Write interesting and useful papers in good (high rated) journals - you get points for publications and get high interest in the scientific sociaty
Answer the question in the area you are the expert and you can help another people
Ask interesting questions and rise important discussion
You should do it to be more recognised with your works and to have great possibility for scientific international collaboration
If you are doing it for scores only,... it is wasting your time I did not know any University that based their promotions or funding on RG scores, however maybe it is good idea? or maybe there are some univeristy in the world taking RG scores in their Staff eveluation ?
Colleagues let us know such examples !!!
Thank you Sebastian Kot for your prompt and useful reply. Regards.
Just enjoy in Research Gate experience (sharing your papers and projects, reading others, recommending, following, answering, asking,...) and the score will came!
The score can be increase when the no.of citations of your research increase and this can be occur when your topic was interested by other researchers of the same area you worked.
Hi...
You could increase the RG score when the citations of your research will be increase and be more active in questions and answers
Hi, to increase your score in the research gate, you need to publish high quality research articles which will be demand from the researcher and cited in their research.
Hi , when you concentrate on research gate and find yourself already open it mostly
To improve your RG Score:
1. Share anything from negative results to raw data or full-fledged publications
2. Create a project, or add an update to your existing project(s)
3. Ask a question or give another researcher a helpful answer
4. Follow other researchers
5. Comment on and recommend your peer's research, projects, and questions.
I guess, it can be increase when your name in co-authroship articles is more closer to the first article.

also, it can be helpful when the numbers of followers increased? anyone can give any idea of how to increase the number of followers in RG?
Be an active researcher, try to upload more articles. Also focus on
discussion .
Increase your research with experienced co-authors or professors who have lots of students or a well known laboratory. This will help get more citations and recommendation which will increase your RG Score
When the number of one's followers and citation increase, definitely the RG score will increase.
The old and but important question!
Be very active in the research (publication) and Research Gate!
More citations and recommendation..
However, we are scientific people, so we should publish more articles.
It is more important!!!
RG Score is calculated based on any contribution you share on ResearchGate or add to your profile, such as published articles, unpublished research, projects, questions, and answers.
Hi all, I reckon that sharing publication and be involve in the discussion improve the score.
Productivity in the scientific field is the most important thing in improving your degree and career!
You can always post your research on social networking sites. This can increase reads and also generate citations. All this will increase the RG score.

To increase scientific score it needs more publication, discussion, and citations.

1. Share good publications
2. Share projects

Thank you for answer .... I don't know how could i add paper or search .... Can you help me?
Alias Abdulaziz Hameed, just press " Add new reserch " from main menu and upload your paper.See the photos attached .
Why the publications list does not accept more than 5 papers? How to increase the number of visible publications over 5?
Eman El-Khateeb, it is accepted more papers but are are visible in the Reserch from main menu (see the photo attached). In Overview you'll see less, if you select 5, you'll see 5.
Publishing and contributing to papers could boost scores and research points.
To improve your RG Score:
Publishing papers in reputed journals will boost your score. In RG, each each journal is having an impact value and our score will increase on the basis of the impact value of journal where we publish articles. RG is giving more importance to journals than international conferences like springer, ieee etc. They are giving more score to paid journals and low quality journals than these international conferences. Also, we can see a lot of people are having higher RG score, still they are not having any publications. They are improving their scores by simply asking questions and providing answers to others questions! RG would have been much better , if it strictly focuses on research and publications than giving scores to questions or answers.
Inaddition, This article might be helpful...........https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/leap.1035
add an update to your project
follow other researcher
reply to questions from other researchers
To improve your RG Score:
Research gate's score is very important in many ways. From this, we can find out. How much interest X has in research, how much work has been done in recharge. So it is very important. Today's universities are getting promoted according to research gate's score.

1. When the number of papers in good index journal starts increasing, Gates score also starts increasing. 2. Research gate score also increases due to more use of social media like research gate etc.
it is very useful to upload your works and make it readble. Other parameters that improve your score are about projects, citations, and interactions. For example reading and anwering question, or by asking it. This is a social, so everything is shared improve your research interest
Four things contribute to your research gate as follows:
- Publications ( articles, preprint, presentations, raw data etc, projects)
- Questions ( Asking well formulated questions)
- Answers ( Give to other researcher helpful answers)
- Followers.
As miscellaneous, recommend others peoples works, update your projects. Try to be actif on research gate platform, and share your work on other social media for more visibility.
Thank you very much, I didn't understand why my RG score decreased sometimes, now I see that It's a common problem. I will follow your recommendations, thank you very much indeed.
All these are valuable answers. I may also add responding to requests from researchers asking for access to one of your research product which is not shared publicly.
It is quiet confusing whether your mentioned tactics work or not. There is no meaningful relation between publication increase and boost of score
Answering questions is one way of increasing your score without much effort. I see there are some people who have few publications but have high scores because they answer a lot of questions.
Also create a project, or add an update to your existing project(s).

If only it was that simple. Engagement recently has resulted in a decrease in scores - even allowing for the notion of relativity that is absurd. If it was not for the fact that RG is a useful platform for sharing research and ideas I would take my ball home because RG's scoring system is ridiculous.
Interesting to see the question I have been looking for whom to ask.!
by doing joint projects with me :)) .. I am open to international projects
