More flexibility in selecting your science discipline

Posted by ResearchGATE Support in News
Comments (0) | Trackbacks (0)

Recently, we asked our members whether they would wish to select more than only one science discipline in their profile. And if so, what would be the optimal number? This is the result: 64% voted for that there should not be a limit. Therefore, we changed the way how you can select science disciplines. In a tree of science, you can select science disciplines on different levels, and their number is completely up to you.

Groups are no longer just groups!

Posted by ResearchGATE Support in News
Comments (0) | Trackbacks (0)

You know groups within ResearchGATE as what they are, just groups. But we decided that this is not enough within the world of science - it does not reflect the structure of the research process. Therefore, we have added two features to the groups, what will bring us a large step ahead towards Science 2.0: First, groups can now be categorized, e.g. as an institute, a research group or simply people of similiar interests. It might even be a convention or conference. Secondly, the groups can now be "grouped" with each other, meaning groups can be related to other groups.

ResearchGATE at the ESOF 2008 Conference

Comments (0) | Trackbacks (0)

Ijad Madisch introduced ResearchGATE at the ESOF Conference in Barcelona on July 21. The “Euroscience Interactive Workshop: Development of a Virtual Network Custom-Sesigned for Scientists” started with the statements of three scientists (Jens Degett, Roberto Poli and Peter Westh, from left to right), all of them complaining about too little exchange between researchers and scientific disciplines. The panelists, as well as the audience, were quite impressed by our tool, designed for exactly this need. Said Peter Westh (Life Scientist at the University of Roskilde, Denmark), after having followed Ijad’s presentation: “Congratulations, I see a huge potential in ResearchGATE! I’m looking forward to use it myself.”

REBIRTH communicates via ResearchGATE

Posted by ResearchGATE Support in Cooperations

Many hopes on effective treatment of fatal diseases in the near future rely on research in regenerative biology and reconstructive therapy. In order to advance work in these fields, Hannover Medical School has recently founded REBIRTH (acronym for REgenerative BIology and Reconstructive THerapy) as a centre for basic as well as clinical research. REBIRTH follows an interdisciplinary approach, uniting seven high-profile partner institutions in a single cluster and combining biomedical disciplines with chemistry, mechanics, and physics, including photonics. To help achieve this goals, ResearchGATE has partnered with REBIRTH.

Comment (1) | Trackbacks (0)
ResearchGATE has become a major issue in the world wide web: Google offers more than 10.000 hits if you enter “researchgate” into the search field. Of course, nobody can read them all, so we made a small selection for you. There are pieces in newspapers like the University World News as well as several entries in blogs such as Science Blog, SciBlog, the EMBO Life Sciences Mobility Portal and EurActiv. For all the rest, check your favourite search engine!

ResearchGATE supports urgent research on ALS

Posted by ResearchGATE in Cooperations
Comments (0) | Trackbacks (0)

A rapidly progressing, fatal neurodegenerative disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease) is still neglected by mainstream pharmaceutical research. To raise awareness and help accelerate the development of treatments, ResearchGATE has decided to partner with the non-profit organization Prize4Life by providing a platform for a continuous conference on ALS. The mission of Prize4Life, founded by Harvard Business School alumnus Avichai Kremer, an ALS patient, is to accelerate the discovery of a treatment and a cure for ALS by using powerful incentives to attract new people and new ideas and to leverage existing efforts and expertise in the ALS field.

Comment (1) | Trackbacks (0)


The academic journal Science, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), has reported on the launch of ResearchGATE in its current issue (30.May
2008). “The fact that millions of people are already connected through Facebook didn’t stop Ijad Madisch from dreaming up a networking site tailored to life scientists and social scientists”, it says. Though ResearchGATE is obviously not the first social networking platform, the article is headed “Pioneers”: We are the first offer truly matching the needs of the scientific community. Science has a worldwide readership exceeding one million.

Dear Researchers,

many of you keep asking us about what is going on within ResearchGATE and the evolving Science 2.0 community. To open the curtain a little bit, we decided to start the ResearchGATE blog, providing you with up-to-date information constantly.

We will use this blog to announce new cooperations, to publish press releases and to discuss new applications with you. Furthermore, we will introduce new junior and senior advisors via this platform.

Please let us know if you have any input or comments!

Best wishes
