I wonder if Google Scholar can recognize papers on RG and count citation accordingly.
Anyone has any thoughts about such cases? I mean an article published only on Research Gate and Google Scholar recognizes its references and count citation from there.
If not, how could I add my papers (that are not indexed in Google Scholar) in a way that makes it recognizable by Google Scholar?
Thank you,
I would like to know also. I uploaded my study on google scholar and it links back here, so maybe it doesn't.
Yes one of my articles appear in google scholar search and I added it to my profile in google scholar
Basim Shakir Al-Obaidi thank you for your answer.
What I meant is if the paper appears only on RG, not on any other database, will Scholar find it and count citations from the publication references list.
Thanks,
Mustafa - no - that will not be automatically be the case. Both companies use different citation metrics and draw on different sources/databases. With Research Gate you can manually add your articles if it doesn't pick them up in the first instance. That doesn't happen with Google Scholar though. It only counts what is on it's metric database. It also depends on what you mean by 'papers' on RG? If it's a journal article in an established academic journal - then there is a high chance that both databases will pick it up. If it's an article in a less well known journal - one database might pick it up - but the other not. If by 'paper' you mean non-journal sources (like a conference proceeding) - then, again, only one may pick it up.
Dean Whitehead Thank you so much. I expected the same case as well.
Yes, if another article cited the article published on Research Gate.
The best way to get your article everywhere, is to get an Orcid, it compiles and links your articles to all the databases you have registered with.
Mala Babagana Gutti - I do not think this is the case. ORCID is linked to scopus and very few other databases. What if the publication is not indexed in these few databases?
It depends on, in which trusted publisher you have submitted your paper!
Yes, it may find it but may take some period of time. In case of citation counts, it may or it may not capture it.
Dear all,
I fear we have to define a couple of words here:
1. I am regularly publishing data and presentations here on RG.
They cannot be found on Google Scholar unless you add them on Google scholar manually; however since you can give a DOI to this type of Research they can be tracked globally e.g. by linking it to your ORCID-ID...
2. Published Papers in Journals or Books will be linked to Google Scholar if the PDF-Text is uploaded publicly or privetely to RG...
I hope that helps...
Hello
I agree with Carsten Weerth it is in this way
Ingrid
Google scholar provide link to paper when its made available online by journals while it is not the case after uploading to researchgate.
Hi all,
Here is one possible solution (for linking Researchgate articles to Google Scholar), as you can try:
1) at your Google Scholar Citation Page click on pencil icon;
2) you will get a window where you are able to edit your profile;
3) put the URL of your Researchgate profile page as Homepage.
Kind regards, Anton
