ResearchGate: concept and timeline
ConceptBuilt by scientist for scientistIt started when two researchers discovered first-hand that collaborating with a friend or colleague on the other side of the world was no easy task.
Founded by physicians Dr. Ijad Madisch and Dr. Sören Hofmayer, and computer scientist Horst Fickenscher
TimelineFounded in 2008.-> March 2014, ResearchGate reports to have 4 million members (30 Nobel Laureates)-> January 2014, ResearchGate received the "Digital Innovation of the Year" award from Focus magazine. "Innovationen: ResearchGate, YouPickIt und SAP geehrt". January 21, 2014.

Lin, Thomas (16 January 2012). "Cracking Open the Scientific Process". The New York Times. Retrieved 9 August 2012.
“The Web site is a sort of mash-up of Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, with profile pages, comments, groups, job listings, and “like” and “follow” buttons (but without baby photos, cat videos and thinly veiled self-praise). Only scientists are invited to pose and answer questions — a rule that should not be hard to enforce, with discussion threads about topics like polymerase chain reactions that only a scientist could love.”

RG target?
Bernhard Wessling · 61.71 · 125.26 · BWSI, LaoWei Technology Consulting Inc.young researchers very much have the potential to generate new (unbiased) ideas which senior researchers should be open to, listen, appreciate, consider and support to implement, all this RG can help, and i think it is a really active platform.
Gajendra Pal Singh Raghava PhDWho are the users of ResearchGate?I have observed that most of the forums are dominated by youngsters, particularly students. I have not found too many senior researchers or science leaders or well known researchers in their field on scientific forums including ResearchGate.

RG target: the real aim
“I think that if you haven’t published, you can still have lots of knowledge in your field, and institutions should honor that, but they need a way to prove it,” explains Madisch. “Scientists are publishing stuff on their ResearchGate profiles, helping other scientists, and earning a reputation. That reputation will be reflected within the system.”

Ian Kennedy · 104.48 · 0.95 · Independent ResearcherIt has taken me a year to find a stellar co-author via RG (whom I could not have found otherwise). As in most fields, there is a wide range of skill levels and understandings, not to mention some spammers participating. Just as Facebook was originally intended to find dates, the real use of RG is to find co-authors, and to feel part of a cosmopolitan and hybrid society.

Matching and promotional service
“ResearchGate has grown into a natural place for universities, agencies and companies to search for specialized talent. The site has 16,000 job posts, which are free for employers. Starting now, it’s charging $100 to $300 a month for companies that want premium placement for their listings.”
“The company will introduce a service that lets conference marketers pay to promote events and another for companies that want to advertise products, devices, books and services to scientists.”
