abstract = {Based on a survey, the following study investigates
opinions and also usage patterns relating to the
ResearchGate social networking site for scientists and
researchers. The survey consisted of 19 questions and was
conducted online with 695 scientists from the disciplines of
physics, biology, medicine, and neuroscience. Amongst other
issues, the research questions concerned how much time and
effort the interviewees expended on ResearchGate, what added
value they perceived in using the site, the extent to which
social aspects influence use, how participants planned to
use the platform in future, and what role ResearchGate’s
own metric, the RG score, played for the scientists. In
addition, we discuss which of the factors of age, sex,
origin, and scientific discipline have a decisive influence
on the responses of the interviewees and which are of no
statistical significance The results clearly show that the
origin of the participants is frequently decisive, but that
the remaining factors also have a considerable influence on
the responses for more than $25\%$ of the questions.},
