Finally, the most controversial issue on this plat form "RG score" has been disappeared today.
Do you think that the disappearance of this feature will negatively affect the RG members' interactions?
How RG score has been disappeared today ???? Based on what ??????
We'll see? Maybe they saw our criticism of their error. Perhaps you followed an audit? Let's wait ... I do not depend on any of that in my life ...
Christmas is coming, we might get gifts = correction RG score ?!
If this mater happens, i think it will be negative effect to all collegues in this platform.
See this link for the new metric "Research Interest Score" instead.

Disappear of RG Score! I think this could be a negative impact on this platform.
This issue remains the most controversial as long as the evaluation criteria remain as s secret that is only known by RG team.
I don't have any information regarding dissolution of RG score, but if it true, then I appreciate the decision (though my current RG score is 361.37). I will continue my activity as usual, because ResearchGate forum rates me as top experts in several topics of science as follows:
I have no informations about this subject. So if that is happened, I think it has no negatively effect on the RG members' interactions on the RG platform.
Best regards.
I think that out of respect to all members of the RG community, the administration must at least explain the reasons for such a decision.
What will happen after RG score removal? Does it interferes with anyone or anything? RG score is not a bad thing at all.
I am fond of researchgate as it provides the opportunity to connect with the researchers worldwide and you get informed that where your research standards lies.
It is OK. This platform is not meant only to get higher score but to interact meaningful in order to be a better researcher and learn from one another.
I think it is a good removal. It will make ResearchGate only a gate for research. It was about to be such a mess. We used to see many questions unrelated to research. Such questions were asked just to get high scores and it was a diversion of the main ResearchGate's aim. Another issue is that there was a kind of unfairness. For example, Professor Richard M Ryan got 133,363 citations and 516,092 Reads and he had around 40 scores and some got the same or more without even a single citation or even a single research. So, I believe that ResearchGate was good and unfair and it will remain and be good and fair.
Best Regards!
I do not think so, and researchers will be moving away from worrying thinking about scores.
I really thank all my colleagues who participated in this discussion. I highly appreciate your viewpoints, ideas and thoughts.
I share the same opinion as most of my colleagues: RG is moving toward a real scientists' interest in our research.
The real and wonderful benefit of this platform is the exchange of scientific experiences that is the most important in my opinion.
Do Q&A reads play any part in the Research Interest measure? I ask in particular because I note a "Research You Follow" menu item, under which appears Questions, indicating that the Questions are to be understood as research.
I think the best way to increase your RG score is to follow the steps of (How to increase your impact), by upload full text, invite co-author via e-mail, make recommendation to other, send question and answer to other question, .. etc.
Hi colleague Mahmood Zaki Abdullah
Apparently the RG score is no longer.
Hi @ Stanley Wilkin, not sure, but I'm wondering whether the page with RG score might not be stored in your browser cache?
I'm thankful if it is gone, as now everyone can concentrate on the material. And if its not gone, don't forget to recommend me. (Sorry/my joke)
Until today the RG score still appears in the non-personal page
Yes I think it is effectively negative, and my score is decreased 0.05 degree today, I do not why.
It still visible on every RG profile. Still much here with us- RG score.
@ Oluwaseun A. Otekunrin, I can't see your RG score. What I see is your TRI, i.e. 207.6.
@Dawood Mahdi sir, your own score is 12.11. I did not see your TRI.
@Dawood Mahdi sir, your own score is 12.11. I did not see your TRI.
@Oluwaseun A. Otekunrin, TRI stands for Total Research Interest. This is a new feature in place of previous RG score.
That's true @Segun Michael Abegunde.
The RG administrators have returned the RG score after being disappeared for a while.
Now, both scores (RG score and TRI) are seen to all members.
