"Total Research Interest" is some new index. Can someone explain what does this imply? Maybe its a simple entity but iam not aware of this.
Regards
Dear Dr. Sikandar Hayat Khan ,Dear All
First, congratulations to you and to all colleagues for the new evaluation.
We've heard a lot about the RG platform's intention to adopt a new evaluation today and it seems to have appeared publicly on the RG platform. It is based on researches exclusively for each researcher and evaluated by the platform community exclusively also in accordance with the stated context of them:
- A read* has a weighting of 0.05.
- A full-text read* has a weighting of 0.15.
- A recommendation has a weighting of 0.25.
- A citation has a weighting of 0.5.
Regards.

Thanks!
In addition to @Shaden M H Mubarak, Total Research Interest (TRI) is the researcher's contributions in terms of their research items added on RG. It is measured by the following;
Total number of citations
Publications
Reads by RG members
Full text reads
Other reads
These are weighted and show how you're faring in terms of percentage compared to other researchers on RG
Interesting and informative contributions by respected colleagues
I have noticed this new item just two days ago. I also need some interpretation about it.
I think Total Research Interest is a metric that takes into consideration all the researches one downloads when suggested, all the full-text they request, all the projects they follow, all publications they recommend and all the questions they recommend or answer plus the researchers own research interest.
Research interest score mostly based number of published papers and their citation number.
Thank you all Shaden M H Mubarak Arvind Singh Sadanand Pandey Arvind Singh Olutosin Ademola Otekunrin @ka
Yes i got it, but still few questions:
1- Why then score decreases? Is there a system of negative marking?
2- No mention here of the impact factor (IF) of an article to your score, will RG add the IF of an article on publication?
I hope some of the colleagues must be knowing this and will reply

Your personnel score can decrease when average value of RG score is increase.
No mention here of the impact factor (IF) of an article to your score, will RG add the IF of an article on publication?
Any idea???
Also repeating same answer or same question has bad influence on RG score.
Dear Dr. Sikandar Hayat Khan ,
As stated by RG site in the window of the explanations
provided that:
- Multiple reads and recommendations by a researcher in a single week A researcher interacting multiple times with the same research within a short period of time doesn't represent an increase in interest, but leaves the score more open to abuse.
I think this is what I asked about the caveats to decrease the score .
Regards
It has been there for months and it gives better judgement based on research work.
kindly read the important link for the above answer.
