Dear Dr. Renier, It is really interesting question. I think that is 70-30. We get very useful information and keep in touch with highly reputable scholars like you. Based on getting information and acquainting with experts, i will personally say that is 70% helpful for us.From other side, it is 30% waste of time because we keep on checking several times without getting any positive information. This is my personal opinion and may be many researchers will not be agree with me and they will have different strategy and mind-set regarding ResearchGate. I spend every day approximately 30 to 45 minutes.

Dear Reiner, I spend about one hour or a little bit more but it is informative and efficient in lieu. Getting acquainted with scholars, intellectuals and interacting with them is both fun and instructive for me.

It is important. I manage it by unfollowing questions (and topics) when they no longer pass the "So What?" test.

I'm a bit long in Researchgate, just started showing my publications. But I've found that this is a very interesting space. Where you can be heard and respected even if not a Dr. or Master. It's been a pleasant surprise to be treated as an equal. See my publications downloaded beings is very rewarding to receive comments and criticism hard or being critical acclaim for daily encouragement. My Researchgate is open all day.

Yes. I log in all day.
