From your experience and observations, did you notice any weekly "variation" in the researchers' interactions?
In other words: what "day" was associated with apparently more active discussions between RG members?
Please share your experiences on the most active day(s) "e. g. Monday, Saturday..." or "all days seem similar"
I am not that senior on RG relatively mew account but according my little experience , i would go for week ends...
It seems to me that every day is OK, provided the question is well thought through and ready for posting.
Good question! I think during the weekends as all will be having more free time then to spend communicating at RG
Due to the pervasiveness of today's mobile devices, most researchers, even in their busy schedules tend to check for updates. Provided the question is in their field of interest, they could easily contribute a response. Thus, everyday is a good time. It just depends on your question and the researchers interest (especially those who follow you on RG as they are likely to be the first to see your question in their timeline)
Thanks dear Joshua O. Ighalo , I presume it could be Monday, so initiating a fresh Discussion on Sunday seems reasonable..
Thanks Emre Pakdemirli , Hassan Izzeddin Sarsak for suggesting Weekend, as many RG members seem to interact in this relatively "free" time..
Thanks dear Len Leonid Mizrah for your positive response " provided the question is well thought through and ready for posting. "
I always admire your proactive "research" spirit!
Thanks dear Eddie-Williams Owiredu and Ragad moufaq Tawafak for suggesting "everyday" that RG may be easily accessible for many members throughout the week,
However, I assume there must be some overall "trend" among this huge cohort of global researchers..
If RG can demonstrate to its members some benchmark statistics, that would be interesting,
I did not notice significant changes in the activity of scientists and researchers on the RG in the context of specific days of the week. Perhaps during the holiday periods and at weekends, the activity of, for example, participation in comments, asking questions and answering RG is decreasing.
Best wishes
I agree with Sir Dariusz Prokopowicz, as we have habit of using researchgate in our daily routine of weekdays irrespective of the busy schedules. But couldn't extract time in weekends or Sundays, as we engaged in other activities.
Thanks Michael Issigonis , Dariusz Prokopowicz and Charu Saxena for your input,
Seems there is a lot of time variability between RG members, and that may even change in the same individual member from time to time (for example you have very busy week, while next week becomes more suitable for RG access and interactions).
Wednesday and thursday evening hours are the best times for me because I have fewer patients.
According to my experience and observations, it varies from person to person. Most of the researchers interact as per the availability and accessibility of time. some may be free on weekends while others might be free when there students will be on a mass bunk, few may connect when they discovered inquiry of their own advantage or related research, while remaining may interact just, when they found the data valuable. Subsequently there is no relationship between the day and active discussion among RG members.
I do not have an idea. But this question made me to think the time of posting can affect visibility of the post.
