I asked a question in Research Gate, which is related to NFV. Then, when I added the tags to the question, I did not find NFV as research topic neither the management and orchestration.
Is there a reasonable reason? If not, How to add NFV to research topics?
In my opinion, a very good question and an interesting discussion.
In my opinion, the research base and Research Gate portal should be the most important scientific portal globally.
Research Gate Portal should automatically connect and download data about scientists and their scientific achievements from other websites and databases of indexing scientific publications. The Research Gate portal should develop in this way to acquire and create new communication functions that facilitate communication between scientists conducting research in the same field but functioning in different places of the globe. To this end, artificial intelligence instruments should be developed in algorithms of information retrieval systems similar to those projects that are already being developed by some other social media portals.

Dear Basheer Raddwan,
I understand your disappointment. However, creating and maintaining a well thought-out, up-to-date list of research activities related to the NFV concept is a broad, in-depth research.
The idea of NFV - as a general concept for the use of VNFs (Virtual Network Function) - is "stable" and has already been specified in several ETSI standards.
The VNFs are used in different network-related areas. The way in which VNFs are used, especially their orchestration and management, is, in fact, the primary task of SDN (Software Defined Networking). The general idea of NFV uses numerous SDN-based system solutions. As an example, the system solutions for the SD-WANs (Software-Defined WANs) can serve. The deployment of SD-WAN services is primarily the orchestration and management of in Clouds "housed", interconnected VNFs.
I would like to answer your question as follows:
In order to "generate" a well-founded list of NFV-related research activities, even a research is needed.
For a list of NFV-related literature sources, I would recommend Chapter 18 of my book (with Research Topics 2019). There are more than 30 literature sources with NFV in the title - see:

Why dose not the Research Gate list the Network Function Virtualization (NFV) as a research topic?
May be not many people in RG aware about NFV or related topic yet. If you want, you can refer to the following links about NFV, SDN, MANO etc.
