Again I ask for your opinion about precede uploaded question!! There is some thing wrong in RG score calculations? Dear RG colleagues. Do you feel unfair and miserable as that happened with your RG score also? I will be so pleasure to know your point of view, with many respect !!.
The RG score has been refined recently and hopefully over the time it will clear up the kinks. Historically there have been many issues. Here is a publication highlighting the issues. See the above figure from this publication.

I hope ResearchGate update the new calculations soon. The current RG score scale is unpredictable, sometimes it increases the score and sometimes decreases.
I see opinion bad. But please: The RG score does not reflect your real performance and your life. It is just a game (and sports), and not important to your true reality. Your true h-index (not calculated by RG!) is more important for your scientific performance.
Definitely something is wrong. Something that could only be explained by RG admin. But who cares about the scores?
May I know what something went wrong that you have noticed there?
Can I know how the score is calculated? And what are the important things that will increase our scores?
Why worry about the score. It is like a game anyway and it means something to only those who manufacture the calculation method that keeps changing, etc etc
To normal people it is an indication of perceived performance. It doesn't mean you are bad if it is low, or that you are excellent if it is high. I started at 0.01 a few years ago. I like to answer questions, so I am enjoying it so far. Don't ask me how it is calculated, I didn't do it!
RG makes me feel like s student again, expectations of being graded, disappointed when believe I was under scored, etc.
I have never really cared much. I seems not to understand the new scoring
Just make sure you learn from this platform. That's the real deal and not the score. Keep learning, relearning and unlearning. It is quite interesting to be here.
RG score will always disappoint you any time any day. If you've not gotten a fair share of what I m talking about, you'll still experience it sooner or later.
I agree with you within a week I put several questions and a lot of duty and interacted with researchers and as a result I decreased my degree
There is very erratic scoring in RG. my scxore jumped from most active to nothing suddenly. However RG seems to have arrange merit sxcores and bagging rights for individual works.
Just forget about it. When did you last use the RG score on something? Winning consists of interacting with other people with the same concerns and questions.
My truthful respect for all RG colleagues who interact and contribute with this question, and introduce their valuable answers, and it is sweet to say them real thanks with many appreciations for there importance response.
All the best,

Do not worry about the RG score ....... It the h-index that is more significant as it reflects the scientific performance of an individual
RG used to have a score and recently introduced research interest! It is a mess and I wouldn’t care to assess scholarship using changing metrics. Consider quality publications as your metric and forget about the rest.
Look at this Adam B. Shapiro guy mentioned in my table above; the RG score is 961. Something seriously abnormal about the formula.
I had almost the same number of read (over 4k) and recommendations (over 4H) in two consecutive weeks, however my score increased with 0.35 in one and 0.1 in the other.
Adam B Shapiro has a large number of citations, which means that his work has a high impact on the scientific community.
I can understand that RG use their own metrics. I would focus more on h-index as someone said previously.
The table given under outliers_RG.GIF is not relevant as where and when verified most of the authors have good citations and research score.
