ResearchGate is a European commercial social networking site for scientists and researchers to share papers, ask and answer questions, and find collaborators. According to a 2014 study by Nature and a 2016 article in Times Higher Education, it is the largest academic social network in terms of active users, although other services have more registered users, and a 2015–2016 survey suggests that almost as many academics have Google Scholar profiles.

While reading articles does not require registration, people who wish to become site members need to have an email address at a recognized institution (like ACHCONSA) or to be manually confirmed as a published researcher in order to sign up for an account. Members of the site each have a user profile and can upload research output including papers, data, chapters, negative results, patents, research proposals, methods, presentations, and software source code. Users may also follow the activities of other users and engage in discussions with them.

To join the ResearchGate community from our community, you must be a fully registered staff of student of ACHCONSA. This will qualify you to create a customized institution email address which will enable you register and download materials from the community at no cost.
