Because scientists did not openly share information during the study, each scientist repeated the same mistake over and over again. This is one of the biggest problems in the world, especially when we continue to repeat mistakes made by other scientists. This wastes us a lot of time and money.
Ijad Madisch, founder of ResearchGate, a social networking platform for entrepreneurs and scientists in Berlin, Germany, said. Madisch is a graduate student in computer science and a qualified doctor. In the face of the above problems, he founded ResearchGate in 2008 to change scientists' research methods.
According to reports, ResearchGate began as a free exchange platform for researchers, but its popularity has gradually extended to the industrial community of scientists, such as Google and Facebook high-tech companies. According to reports, there are already 1,145 Google employees registered on ResearchGate and 199 Facebook employees. The total number of registered users of ResearchGate has exceeded 10 million.
After several years of development, ResearchGate has now become the world's largest and most active social network of scientists. Madisch said that from the very beginning, ResearchGate's focus was to promote the sharing of papers and other data by scientists.
Over the past eight years, scientists have uploaded tens of millions of research intelligence into ResearchGate. According to statistics, there are more than two million scientific publications uploaded on ResearchGate every month. In addition to publications, scientists also upload general articles, conference documents, and raw data.
In July 2013, ResearchGate received a round of investment of US$35 million, led by Microsoft founder Bill Gates and venture capital firm Tenaya Capital.
"Recently, we introduced a feature called Project that allows scientists to collaborate in real time and record their findings in experiments." Madisch said Project allows users to talk directly to help scientists ask each other for help and advice. "Ultimately, Project also makes it easier for scientists to discover other scientists who are studying similar topics."
