I don't know exactly why, but those #ResearchGate "people are reading your work" emails make me somewhat uncomfortable.

"Fabio, people are reading your work".

I find it vaguely threatening...

I have a two publications to my name, mostly for being *attached* to the group that actually wrote and edited the papers. (I did write software based on some of the ideas in the paper, but they weren't originally my ideas.)

OK. Whatever. What I'm curious about is, I'm on #ResearchGate and, lately, I get pretty regular notifications of new #citations on one of these papers, about once a month. It's a total of 80 since September 2018. Is this typical?

It's not a bad paper: I think it's actually quite good. Still, it's not "groundbreaking"? It's about an approach to #SystemsBiology where we use computer simulation that integrates multiple models to validate our overall understanding of an organism. Is that what folks are into these days?

Anyway, I just want a hint, because I'm not likely to actually read all these papers that cite us, if this is, like, paper mill output or are other folks legitimately taking on the ideas and building on them.

@Samuelmoore I was thinking the same thing. #ResearchGate was explicitly set up to spam the living daylights out of the scholarly community, harvest their data, and advertise crap at them. Whenever, anyone mentions it I simply advise them to get off it. They do not have our best interests at heart.

@flodebarre

I plan to keep @kirt@mstdn.science active because there are some very interesting people there.

But i mainly use ecoevo.social for science, @kirt@mastodon.social for general interest stuff, and @kirt@zeroes.ca for chronicling my futile battles against twitter conspiracy theorists.

There's also https://www.researchgate.net/

I like #researchgate for finding info, but it's more of a publication database, the social features aren't very active. But my least favourite thing about it is that it only let's you follow 300 people.

Think I might have a bit of catching up to do...

I just logged into #ResearchGate, which is something I do every couple of months for no discernable reason. It is just a blitz of random notifications giving me stats and info and requests. Difficult to know what to make of it all, or whether I actually should do anything with it.

Is it trying to be a social media site? If so, does anyone use it in that manner? (I don't plan on doing so, personally).

ResearchGate Updates | Projects will be discontinued soon. Here's what we learned — and what we're working on next https://www.researchgate.net/researchgate-updates/retiring-projects

I bit the bullet and signed up to ResearchGate (for convenience more than anything else), it is j
useful keeping track of research papers, but it sure fires a load of junk email at you. My spam folder has not been so full in years.

Local languages are important for our 🇺🇦 arts and humanities researchers, but their English-language publications are cited (=read?!) much more often.

This table was not included in the final version of our new manuscript. More such tables are available on our RG project page:

By the way, all #ResearchGate projects will be retired on March 31, 2023, "as part of ongoing efforts to improve the platform".

The “leaving social network” journey is going on: today I deleted my ResearchGate account
