RG is a platforms for researchers to share and interact with each other, sharing ideas chat and interacting and collaborating are integral part of society. so that way its a social platform but with clear research objective.
I agree with Prof. Nihada. RG is a multi-faceted platform though mostly academic, has social aspects that are helpful to many of the our colleagues here. We are a family of hardworking researchers who aside from the academic collaborations, we discuss socially beneficial issues.
I agree with Prof. Nihada Ahmetovic because we can communicate with researchers and academics in different disciplines and from different locations in the world
Social network for researchers to showcase their works publications (research items), interact with other members in personal level to share ideas in a discussion.
RG is supposed to be a network for researchers to share their work and to answer questions from others. I have seen it degrade to a social network due to some members carrying on a verbal assault and severe insulting including name calling on other members. If members confine themselves to research topics and act in a civil manner to other members RG should be able to reclaim its status that it is not just merely another social medium.
