Profile photos help your peers recognize you and increase the visibility of your research.
The profile on ResearchGate shows an overview of the researcher’s work: publications, professional expertise, institutions, contributions, and all the questions they have answered on the website. Researchers can show their peers current projects.
A ResearchGate profile is broken down into five tabs. First, the overview highlights some of the most important things about the researcher. Second, the Contributions contain all their publications, questions, and answers. Third, the info lists details of his/her skills and research experience. Then, the Stats shows who is viewing and downloading their research. Finally, the RG Score is designed to help measure the impact on their research.
