HELPING RESEARCH GATE TO FULFILL ITS PROMISE by Nicholas Simonds Thompson - Research Project on ResearchGate

Hi, everybody,

This is one more attempt to recruit some FRIAM members to the project of getting Research Gate to pull up its socks. If you go to this link,

https://www.researchgate.net/project/HELPING-RESEARCH-GATE-TO-FULFILL-ITS-PROMISE?openDialog=followers

…you will see that I am having some limited success. In the last week several R.G. staff members have joined as “lurkers”, so now is the time, if you have ever wanted something from R.G. that it is not giving, to let your views be known.

Thanks,

Nick

ResearchGate and Academia are both privately funded and operated. An alternative is Zenodo, run by CERN. It's a paper archive like Archive.org. It doesn't support CVs -- at least at this point. They don't seem to have any plan to do so. You may want to check it out.

Thanks Russ! I appreciate the integration with github, too.

I will. Thanks, Russ.

I think the sooner R.G. gets clear about its goals, the better off they will be. There is all sorts of foundation money out there for the sort of thing they are doing.

The use of github is brilliant! This way you can version papers, have teams work together on the paper, and immediately get "prior art" established. It will also appear quickly in searches because github apparently uses search optimizations.

I've run across more than one organization that uses github for meeting notes, design documents, code reviews, and naturally code itself.
