Research gate give information directly without any possibilities

Research Gate helps us to present our scientific achievements and it also allows me to share my ideas.

Reearch Gate is my ,almost, every day platform to interact with my colleagues in science and research. Good question @Sylantyev. Sometimes, I get angry when my thread is being removed, as the one on statistics of Research Gate where was around 40 good responses given already. But, I do not have a better platform for science communication! RG boosts my science skills!

Is it based on Bill Gates ideas? Bill Gates purpose was to boost corporate value-adding exercises based on flexible ICT applications. Was he thinking about scientists communication internally or externally to the corporation boundaries? I think he worried about internal communication channels and possibly extended via collaboration facilities with time. Was Gates interested to bring wealth to the scientist community, I think he was more interested to shorten distances by using Microsoft applications to such an edge to make his application indispensable, and therefore he increased his fortune in parallel to the scientists interest to communicate more. Therefore, I think that scientists communicated more within boundaries of their own collaborative research projects, the cycle was closed and only people of interest were invited.

RG is taking advantage of this loophole, by providing free platform to all scientists to build their own networks freely as they like. Each scientist extends his/her network by choice with no limitations. Consequently based on this scenario, Ijad (the co-founder) has stated that he wishes to win a Nobel Prize through the site by disrupting the way in which science is conducted.

So, RG has promising future which depends on our own models of communication, collaboration, and coordination of ideas, being scientific, social or humane.

So, to answer the original question , the response is yes.

@Hussin Hejase. I could not imagine before that I would participate in creating a product that is planned for the Nobel Prize. This is the win-to-win strategy.

What and where is RG participants max contribution to Ijad goal?

The answer to your question is resolutely yes. RG is an excellent platform for scientific communication. In the past two years I have learned so much thanks to RG and I hope I have been able to make a modest contribution to knowledge.

My dear friends, You can join the discussion here on thread removed, better say taken from me, since is still available for comments!

Bill Gates invested in RG very recently since he (as I mentioned earlier believes that more business will come to Micorsoft in the future) and RG has promising chances to later on be parallel to Google in its own applications.

@Sylantyev,

Thank you for sharing this post with me. I 100% agree with both Maxim and Ljubomir. To me scientific communication on ResearchGate, is important in more than one way.

1. If a problem posted incorrectly or is unclear, it is corrected.

2. Responses from experts and young scientists/scholars highlight different dimensions of the problem.

3. Different ways by different contributors to solve a problem are suggested.

4. Sources of information and literature are suggested.

5. One becomes aware of new ways an old problem is being solved.

6. Software for different purposes is pointed out.

7. One can download articles of articles of his/her interest which may enlighten one and put a precedence how one can proceed in solving a problem.

8. The most important aspect is that from discussion in a thread one can develop contents for his/her reference book or article with a detailed synopsis and ideas from the discussion.

9. As such, ResearchGate is good to tool of promotion research in any field covered by the portal.

10. Therefore, it cannot be argued that ResearchGate is meant to promote business rather it promotes understanding among the scientists around the globe.

11. Whatever Bill Gate’s stake in ResearchGate, I admire this portal for services to research community.

Sylantyev, Let me put it this way. We are the "guinea pigs" (experimentation and please no body get offended (:-))) ). All of us are looking to network (our nature of researchers or scientists), all of us have a common trait (Curiosity, also nature of most of us), all look for more ideas, and more opportunities to establish contacts so that we are aware of as many details as possible. RG facilitates that and we are excited about it.

Indirectly RG is building inertia and fame and consequently the sponsors are winners at the end.

Bill Gates may have put it in a book but it was inevitable that we would have sites like Research Gate. When Albert Einstein and Max Plank started the quantum revolution at the turn of the last century it was a for drawn conclusion that the internet would happen. We should be able to advance science very fast today. The ways of the past will not help us with travel to and from different corners of the world still taking days. Most plans and communication take place at the speed of light.

Just imagine the progress that could of happened if the turn of the last century would have had an internet instead of mail. We would have colonized Mars 50 years ago and found our way to the next solar system by now. But all of this assumes that we know how to us this tool to build knowledge and develop better understanding.

Only by working together and taking a big picture look at the research that is going on can we see where this is headed. I see lots of research that has fantastic overlaps with other fields of science. This means that we have to be diligent in our quest to search for research that is being done or has been done that apply to what we are working on today.

If we wish to advance we must stop doing the same research in different field over and over again because we did not know it had been done before. Yes as we are educated we should be doing these experiments to verify the results but not because we think no one has done it before. Lets not repeat the Michelson-Morley experiments to many times before we decide that we are not going to find a light either.

Rather Facebook? RG is answer within science to our quicer pace of life: conferences become not necessary to be well known as a scientists, what more you can publish results of your research in OA journals or even on your website (if provides dissemination). Science is where scientists provide solutions of important problems - see case of Grigorij Perelman. Thus scientists look for more effective and quick form of own outcomes dissemination. Threat: if popular scientist may be regarded as better than unpopular one?
