ResearchGate is the leading SNS for researchers in the world. Meanwhile, there are several similar websites, such as ResearcherID, Academia. Some people argue that ResearchGate is not doing anything that is fundamentally different than others, there have long been researchers on LinkedIn and Facebook.
I have downloaded quite a number of useful articles through ResearchGate. I have been able to monitor my citations and research recommendations through this medium. The benefits I have derived from the research and academic discussions are also enormous. The platform has equally afforded me the opportunity to network to boost my research productivity.

Platforms are similar in some ways (connect people with the same interests eg academia and RG) and different (although from technical view similar) in other ways. RG accepts only researchers. fb is chaotic regarding members and information. RG is the best to find articles and read discussions that arise from research interests and not any problem of yours. In addition the identity of accredited members/researches make the platform unique not the type of the platform itself.
Dear, good question!
I see the RG as easy to use, allows you to share the publications and monitor the citations. Best of all, in the RG is to share knowledge, expand the network of contacts and the possibilities of publications I got here.

Research Papers, Information, communication way to interact with researchers,
First of all, functioning on the Research Gate portal, I establish contacts with researchers, scientists conducting similar or similar research. Developing contacts in the world of science is the opportunity to meet scientists with whom I could conduct joint research projects, joint research, analytical processes. It is possible to collect data collectively, eg from surveys carried out by members of an international research team, including people who operate in other countries. In this way, you can compare the results of research on an international basis. You can conduct a comparative analysis and write a joint article text for publication. There are so many opportunities to develop contacts in the world of science thanks to the functioning of the Research Gate portal.

Research Gate is a very useful science portal in which scientists and researchers and practitioners can find interesting scientific publications on a specific topic. In addition, it is possible to set up research teams, including international ones, at RG. RG is also an excellent form of scientific information exchange, including the results of scientific research between researchers conducting research work in analogous problems. RG is also a huge database of scientific publications that can be quickly found on a given topic in the RG search engine. In connection with the above, RG has many advantages that determine the rapid development of this portal.

In my opinion, recruiting colleagues to a research team via a social media portal like Facebook is possible but probably rarely used. Facebook or other popular social media portals, like LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Tweeter, YouTube, Instagram, Google+, Snapchat, Pinterest, etc., are not sites tailored to the needs of researchers. Apparently, internet technology companies that manage the largest social media portals, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Tweeter, YouTube, Instagram, Google+, Snapchat, etc., plan to undertake research and implementation work or implement these works to implement specific technologies for social media portals artificial intelligence. Perhaps, when these social media portals will be improved accordingly, when artificial intelligence will be implemented in these social media portals, it will become more friendly to scientists.
However, at the moment, social media portals such as Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Tweeter, YouTube, Instagram, Google+, Snapchat, Pinterest etc. can be used to recruit colleagues to the research team. First and foremost, it should be in a network of contacts, so-called friends on these websites have scientists and researchers. Then, on the profiles established on these websites, you should publish invitations to establish scientific cooperation in a given research topic. Certainly it will not be as effective as on the Research Gate research portal, because the RG portal is a typical scientific portal, adapted to the needs of researchers and researchers, and the other social media portals listed above do not offer functions adequate to the needs of people in the world of science. The Research Gate portal offers the greatest opportunities for exchanging scientific experiences, presenting the results of scientific research and establishing cooperation between scientists.

How can scientists working in different places of the Earth globe collaborate to create joint research teams?
This research portal Research Gate is a good solution to this issue, because it enables establishing scientific contacts on a global scale. Conducted discussions on scientific topics make it easier to contact scientists who research similar scientific topics and conduct similar research. In this way, discussions and publishing scientific papers facilitate the creation of joint research teams.
The RG research portal makes it easier to establish cooperation between scientists operating in various places around the globe.

Can the qualitative nature of scientific activity be precisely measured by the scoring system?
The qualitative nature of scientific activity is not easy to precisely measure with the scoring system. In many discussions, the question arises about the algorithm for quantifying scientific activity on the RG portal. In my opinion, taking into account the complex algorithm of the RG quantitative indicator of scientific activity, it is necessary to develop the scientific activity in a multi-directional way, conducting interesting scientific research and writing scientific publications containing the results of these research. In addition, one should also be active in other fields of scientific activity. In addition, I do not think there is a direct, close correlation between the quantitative measurement and the assessment of the added value of scientific activity for science, because the RG score is made up of many different types of factors. The algorithm generating the RG score is complex, it includes many determinants, areas of scientific activity and in this way it is a highly objective result. However, if you are asking about the assessment of the quality of your scientific activity, the number of citations of scientific publications is one of the most important indicators in this respect. On the other hand, each point system will never be perfect, because the quality of scientific activity, including the quality of scientific research and scientific publications containing the results of these research is mainly non-quantifiable, non-quantitative, only of a qualitative nature. In addition, research conducted in various fields of knowledge and science are often not comparable because they sometimes relate to a completely different nature of knowledge. One field of knowledge and science is more of a quantitative nature, others more qualitative. Some generate implementation possibilities, such as in technical and technological sciences, while others, more humanistic or artistic ones, generate added values ??for learning and people's lives in a completely different way. Therefore, even the same RG point score but for other fields of science does not necessarily mean the same assessment, because specific fields of knowledge may not be comparable. However, there is a need to build and improve the system of evaluation of scientific achievements and scientific activity according to a specific formula and with the consideration of specific determinants. It seems to me that the Research Gate portal does it very well.
