I like to do both. Mostly I read. Research gate is full of bits of people’s lives. It gives me hope and despair in equal measure. Research gate to me is like a book I can open anywhere and still get a good story about Science.
Reading and writing on Researchgate only provides a glimpse of its amazing power and usefulness. For me, the best thing about RG is that it allows me to connect with scholars and people who share my interests beyond geotechnical engineering. I have connected with some well respected scholars on ancient history and mathematics that I would never have had the opportunity to connect with if it wasn't for RG.
I like to do both. RG gives the opportunity to connect with highly respected scholars. It is a like a social media for academics because it's all fun here. Learning and sharing knowledge is fun
