Is it a matter for ResearchGate to put me on a list or for my Department to do so? I may have been left off because I am an Emeritus Professor, but I still do research.
Do you mean notifications by email or notifications in the "Home Feed", i.e. when you open https://www.researchgate.net? I am asking this because I never get notifications of articles published from my department. I mainly get notifications about publications by ResearchGate users whom I follow, be it from my department or not.
Greetings Wolfgang. The email from ResearchGate is headed by: "This week's research from your Department" (file attached). I presume this means it comes from ResearchGate. I get lots of these from faculty and students whom I do not know or follow.
Hi Peter, I have never seen such notifications, probably due to my email settings. (To see your settings, click on your portrait in the upper right corner, then on "Settings", then on "Emails". I untagged "Institutions".) Email notifications from ResearchGate have "ResearchGate " in the "From:" line. ResearchGate's algorithms are black boxes for users, and we do not know how these work, we just see the results. My impression is that the notification algorithms behave somehow arbitrarily, i.e. they send notifications for selected events (e.g. recommendations) only, not for all. But I have never checked this in detail. - Now I have tagged "Institutions" notifications to see how this will work.
