Sometimes the indicators of “Recommendations” and “Reads” in the Stats overview related to my profile in the RG are decreased instead of increased, I don’t know if this is a natural situation or there is something mistake.
Please share us your opinions
Thanks
Dear ....,
As the RG Score is a dynamic score, such fluctuations are . if your contributions are less than the average of all users that week, your RG Score could decrease or remain constant.
To improve your RG Score, ask a question or give another researcher a helpful answer. Share anything from negative results to raw data or full-fledged publications. If it's of worth to the community, your peers will likely give you feedback, and this will factor into your RG Score. Connect with others, contribute high-quality content, and your score will rise.
Kind regards,
I think this should be unacceptable, however, I faced with that on my RG score too. I hope the problem may repair the system of this media.
Yes of course..sometimes the RG score decreased after one week of increasing in RG score even with higher reads and recommendations..the reason is not cleared
yes it happens RG score depends on active contribution of RG members that articles up load, answers questions, recommendations and so on. therefore your contributions would be judged accordingly and your score either decrease or increases

I remember when I shared my last publication the score decreased instead of increased.
Yes. I have the same issue, but this is not a problem as the system is dynamic and based on others users contributions and publications.
this is reply from ResearchGate
Dear Zahraa,
The RG Score is calculated once a week, so if you've added publications and your score has not yet changed, please be patient. It's also relative, it can go up or down depending on the activity and scores of other ResearchGate members. This means it takes the scores and interactions of every researcher into account to give a relative rating of your contributions.
I want to thank every body who contribute and share his opinion about the discussion .

Yes, sometimes because the researchgate depends on the continuous contributions of the researcher, which must be constantly effective. But if you get points on research or artical is not less down, however the points obtained from other contributions such questions and answers may be reduced.
I was equally inquisitive on the same question when I sign in here few month back. So thanks to Dear Mohammed N J Alzaidy putting a similar question.
I would like to thank all researchers who shared us their useful opinions, thanks to all
It doesn't happen frequently, but some of my RG colleagues mentioned that their score decreased sometimes.
Notably, RG scores on Researchgate may fall for various reasons which are sensitive to the evaluation algorithms defined and used by RG. When the weekly data representing your activities are not sufficient and cannot satisfy those working algorithms, your RG score is reduced.

, Reza Biria , Reza Biria and Rana Burhan Alshahwany , thank you for your contribution and sincerely useful opinions.Regards
Since the RG impact factor of respective journals fluctuates with time, it is very likely to modify your RG score.
Muhammad Adnan , Mohammad Mehdizadeh and Waseem Mushtaq , thank you very much for your sincerely contribution in the discussion.

It is very much possible dear Alzaidy. Various factors play pivotal role in this. Basically, your RG score is a dynamic score which is derived through a black box algorithm that takes into account the overall contribution made by your research profile in that particular week. This algorithm, however, is not quite plain and simple to fathom.
RG score constitutes the reputation of your publications, your interactions with other researchers (in terms of Questions and Answers) and the number of followers. Now let me break it up for easy understanding. The contribution made by your publications can be termed as 'hard score' and it really don't fluctuate any significantly. But the other three derivatives of interactions between you and other researchers (i.e. Questions, Answers and Followers) contribute to what can be called as 'soft score'. This 'soft score' is what causes your RG score to drop. Sometimes quite much significantly, depending on the intensity of your interactions in that week.
Hope I was able to explain the full process.
Dear Dr. Mohammad Mukarram , i would like to thank you for your contribution
actually your detailed answer was very useful to me, God bless you
Regards
Mine has reduced lately though I attain high achievements every week. Don't worry. Focus on the gains here
Good articles published in high impact factor journals I think you should follow the steps below to increase your RG score.
Yes, it happens to me sometimes. RG Score measures scientific reputation and it can go up or down depending on each RG member's scientific contribution, activity, and interactions of other RG members.
Yes it happens if your activity is decreased on RG less than the average for the others
I would like to thank all researchers who shared their contribution and opinions with this discussion. Best regards
since it depends on the member activity so sometimes it decreased if the member is inactive
Thanks to all researchers for their contribution with this discussion.
I have the same problem Why??? and also I see my research interest is increase and suddenly the weekly report RG decrease!!!!!

In congruence with Zahraa Okhti 's answer, RG score is a continuous updating weekly report. Your score may be change according to theses parameters;
- Publication reads
- Citations
- Full-text reads
- Recommendations
- Questions and Answers reads and recommendations
- Badges
- Science topic
- Similar topics
- Composition Studies
- Articles
