Or only article, conference paper etc are found in google scholar search result.
Hi,
Yes, you can find RG preprints on GS. I found one of mine. The data on GS is very inclusive.
Avishag Gordon Thank you for your reply. By the way I also found mine today after these days.
Dear Md Gulzar Hussain ,
The short answer is YES as indicated by Avishag Gordon .
Some observations of my own:
1. When it comes to matters about the link between Researchgate-Google Scholar, in others words when do stuff appear in Google Scholar once you uploaded it in Researchgate:
-It takes Google (often) just a few days to pick up your uploaded documents you’ve put in Researchgate. In other words a lot of data in Researchgate are frequently scanned by the Google Search machine/software.
-It takes Google Scholar an unpredicted amount of time. Looking at my own experience, some things were visible within a couple of days, others took between 5-6 weeks to (automatically) pick up your uploaded documents in Researchgate, while others were only visible after more than 5 months or so (if ever).
2. When it comes to Researchgate itself:
-Depending on the format the search engine of Researchgate is able to pick up references of your document instantly (provided that your pdf file is readable, see other topics about this elsewhere here on Researchgate). When this (for whatever reason) didn’t happen then it varies. I noted that some references were picked up within the next couple of weeks. While some references were apparently hard to recognize and then it could take a (very) long time. Varied from months till…if ever.
3. Google Scholar profile:
By itself a nice tool particularly for yourself. You have (some) influence on how for example your citations are collected and you can group different counts into one total count when it relates to one and the same publication. I have not seen any evidence that Google Scholar improves its findings (related to you and your citations) in the ‘normal’ Google Scholar display as seen by the average user. I was expecting (hoping) to see that for example all citations belonging to one and the same publication would be ‘corrected’ and taken together as it should be, but as far as I can judge this is only the case in your own profile overview with 1-2 examples of cases where this happened.
Sorry for the ‘touch’ of self-promotion but I feel (at least I hope) that the following link might be helpful to those who want to learn fast about the possibilities and impossibilities when it comes to matters like increasing ones views, getting stuff indexed in Google Scholar and so on:

One last remark when it comes to matters like this…be patient.
