Of course, yes: because the ability of any scientific journal to collect citations remains very limited compared to the capacity of RG-platform. Personally as a researcher, I have an article cited five (5) times in RG-platform while it is cited only three (3) times in International Journal of Geotechnical Engineering. Indeed, RG-platform has a good capacity to collect more citations compared to GoogleScholar or other platforms.

Definitely! When you search for an article through a search engine, it may lead you to a database containing the abstract. You may be able to view the abstract or if you are lucky full paper too. If the journal is listed in ResearchGate, chances of locating and citing articles would be greater because of hitting more targets. Moreover, RG members can easily access uploaded articles, and if required, cite them without much hassles!
