Umber Nawaz as indicated by Anton Vrdoljak this is a question which is often asked on RG. For more answers please also see the following thread:

Umber Nawaz I'm wondering when you uploaded your two articles? You can't expect any citations after a few months.

Dear Umber Nawaz

Merely uploading your papers on RG cannot fetch citations in short term. You will have to do something more. In this context, I agree with Frank T. Edelmann

Thank you

When you upload your paper it not increase your citation rather than when some one cite your paper then your citation increase. Paper upload increase your research gate activities.

Arif Ulah , I agree with you.

to increase the number of citations, the researcher has to work on a topical subject and do a good work. The rest, we do not control.

Thank You Anton Vrdoljak your reference to my question was valuable.

You are welcome Umber Nawaz, and thanks for recommendation!

Research article, citation, question, Answer and No of follower impact of RG score.

Thank You Frank T. Edelmann yes i have 2 full text-published article both are more than a year old publication.

Thank You Arbind K. Choudhary and Arif Ulah for answering my question out of your precious time.

Dear Umber,

To increase your citation counts, you need to publish new and relevant research works in reputable journals.

On the issue of missing citations on RG, uploading the two papers may not increase your citation. But uploading any research paper that cite your work subsequently may show and increase the citations. Most citations on RG may not be counted or missing if: 1 - There is mistake in citing or the citation has incomplete metadata for the RG data base to extract such as journal name, publication date, abstract etc) 2 - The citing paper is not added or uploaded on ResearchGate platform. 3 - The full-text PDFs are created by scanning a hard copy, the citations can not be extracted.

Dear Umber Nawaz, it simply means that, so far, no research item uploaded to researchgate has cited you. But there is still possiblity that you may have been cited in research item not uploaded to researchgate yet. In such case, Google scholar can be of help.

Additionally, it normally takes months, and sometimes years, after publication before your research items will start getting

One of the ways to increase your citations is to make quality publications in reputable journals with high IF. Another way is increase the visibility of your publications by joining any uploading them in many platforms such as RG, Academia, semantic scholar, your institution repository, etc.

Very interesting question .. worth following .

Umber Nawaz good to see that your two articles are already listed on Google Scholar (see attached). However, they were only published last year, so it's perhaps too early to see any citations yet.

Thank You Chinaza Godswill Awuchi your answers are every time valuable and worthy enough to follow the advice.

Isa Baba Koki Thank You Sir. Your worthy answer. I am highly obliged to you.

Thank You Professor Frank T. Edelmann your advises and motivation are always welcomed.

Umber Nawaz you're welcome! Perhaps you can plan to publish your next paper in a journal with a higher impact factor. Good luck!

Be active on research gate, share rg journal link on different social sites, question and answer on research gate, published article in good journal

Quality papers published in reputable journals with high IF usually attract more interests and have high citations

It's auto search policy of RG. Mostly indexed Journals articles are cited in RG.

Of course it's not easy to publish a paper in a high-IF journal, but it's worth all the effort and time!

There is no trick to increase your citation. Just, publish article in a good IF journal and keep following your project in a series of articles.

I agree with Dr. Frank T. Edelmann

Syed Amjad Gilani yes, you are right. The possibilities to artificially influence your citation counts are negligible.

Same thing I'm facing. My GoogleScholar citation is more than RG citation. I don't know what to do now. I'm also looking for the valuable reply.

Dear Prathvi Raj Chauhan there is no need for you to do anything. It is well known that the citation counts on Google Scholar are normally higher than those on RG or Scopus. Apparently Google Scholar counts more research items such as e.g. books, book chapters etc. I would just accept that theses differences exist.

Thank you so much Prof. Frank T. Edelmann.

Prathvi Raj Chauhan to give you an example from our work, here are the different citation counts for the following review article:

Article ChemInform Abstract: Metal Complexes of Curcumin — Synthetic...

ResearchGate: 151 citations

Scopus: 162 citations

Google Scholar: 194 citations

Thank You Sir Syed Amjad Gilani your advice is welcomed.

Thank You for acknowledging Dr. Frank T. Edelmann

If you want to be cited. Publish good work in excellent journals. This way your work will be cited by other scientists working in the same field. Otherwise your work will not be cited and will fall in oblivion (waste of time and money).
