How can I publish my papers and projects on ResearchGate?

To publish academic outputs on ResearchGate, authors can upload their authored papers and document project details using the platform's dedicated tools. This process is readily feasible for researchers with legitimate contributions. Key considerations include ensuring copyright compliance—typically requiring the author’s accepted manuscript version rather than the final publisher PDF. Differentiate between "Projects" (ongoing research descriptions) and "Publications" (completed, citable works). Maintain accurate, complete metadata for discoverability and adhere to ethical norms, disclosing affiliations transparently. Version control is essential when uploading updates to existing publications. Log in to your ResearchGate profile, navigate to the "Add new" section, and select either "Publication" or "Project." Follow the prompts: upload the document file (adhering to publisher policies), input comprehensive metadata such as title, authors, abstract, and keywords for publications, or describe project goals and methodologies. Specify visibility settings (public or private). This dissemination enhances accessibility, facilitates collaboration, tracks reader metrics and citation alerts, and broadens your research impact.
