What advantage would authors get if Research Gate synchronizes to their papers in the online data bases, like Science Direct for example?
Not much use to me, what would be useful is being able to link your ResearchGate papers to the ones online, feels a bit odd that you can't do this already. I think you can on Academia - if you look at my profile
http://nottingham.academia.edu/AlanChamberlain
you can download some papers and also link to the source. I tend to add the URL in the paper now too. It's good to give the official link back to the engine paper
Hi, I think that's no good idea. Look at some questions some people ask or some answers and you know why it's no good idea. Some of them have nothing to do with scientific work. Cheers, Nadine
Thank you Chamberline. I checked out your website. It looks cool actually. What I already imagined is to see an author's RG score beside his/her name in his/her open-access article (in science direct for example). Additionally, I was wondering what that would add to his scientific reputation overall. Nadine, I did not actually get fully your point, which sounds funny! :)
Thank you all.
