Website provides a hosting service for academic and scholarly journal articles uploaded by authors. The problem is that it accepts articles that are copyrighted. There is no check to confirm open access or Creative Commons licensing. Some articles are even misattributed to people who DID NOT write them! This is misleading, unethical, and possibly illegal. I don't know what percentage of the articles are legitimate.
Also, by signing up with an email address to use this website, you will get lots of unwanted spam emails.
This site appears to suffer from mismanagement thus may be used to promote scientific disinformation. Caution is advised in using this site and service.

Hi, everybody Let you have my greetings.
Though I am visiting this website "researchgate.net" for the first time, as witnessed by WOT and explained about this site on its page as "ResearchGate a network dedicated to science and research. Connect, collaborate and discover scientific publications, jobs and conferences. All for free." That's why I love this sit.
With regards

My boss got an invitation this morning, allegedly from me. The time this invitation was sent was while I was asleep. I do not remember ever inviting him. I consider this no less than phishing.
The website itself looked great, kind of an academic LinkedIn.
I get spammed about open positions etc.
It's quite annoying, but I guess that if I look hard enough I can unsubscribe from these emails.
Repeatedly sending random signup invitations from people I don't know because someone, somewhere, had the same last name as me? Seriously?
Trying to be the ***** of science site, apparently.
Nice web site with a lot of information about the diferent investigators them research and the citations! Professional and safe, suitable for kids but probably they will not have access
Usefull site for scientists but default settings send spam.
Some people say RG send unwanted invitations (like Badoo) but I never received such emails.
