With over 19 million members
and 145 million publication
pages, ResearchGate is the best
way for scientists to discover
research and connect with the
scientific community.
We see
science in
everything
Science can feel as far away as Mars or as
abstract as quantum theory, but in truth,
it influences everything around us. From
the water we drink and the air we breathe,
the health of our planet to the health of our
loved ones — we see the positive impact of
science all around us.
Protecting the
world’s biodiversity
is science in
ecosystem ecology.
Climate change is disrupting the world’s ecosystems,
rapidly accelerating the rate of extinction, and
perpetuating a global biodiversity crisis. But scientists
like Linas Balciauskas and his peers in ecosystem
ecology make progress on ResearchGate every day.

Spending your
best years with
your family
is science in
neurodegenerative
diseases.
Millions of people every year are diagnosed with
Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of debilitating
dementia. But researchers like Rudy J Richardson
and his peers studying neurodegenerative disease
on ResearchGate are using their brainpower to
help preserve ours.

Ensuring access
to clean water for
future generations
is science in
chemical engineering.
The world’s finite supply of fresh water is at risk
due to climate change, pollution, population growth,
and more. But scientists like Gregg T. Beckham
and his peers in chemical engineering are collaborating
on ResearchGate to preserve our water and protect
our future.
5
Turning trauma
into joy
is science in
psychopathology.
Mental illnesses like depression, bipolar disorder,
and anxiety disorder affect hundreds of millions
of people worldwide. But ResearchGate has
thousands of scientists contributing to the field
of psychopathology, like Laurie Higbed’s work
on the therapeutic applications of MDMA.

We believe
the biggest
problems can
be solved
From rising sea levels to rising inequality, mass
migration to mass extinction, the problems facing
our world are immense. Still, we’re optimistic
about the power of millions of scientists working
in unity to overcome any challenge. That’s why
we dedicate ourselves to connecting the world’s
researchers in common cause.
We believe
the truth
shouldn’t
hide behind
a paywall.
We believe
in openness
A scientific breakthrough
is only as valuable as its
adoption and impact
in the world. We think
that research should be
available to everyone,
which is why we host over
145 million publication
pages. Only if information
is available to all can the
benefits be felt by all.

We believe
in collaboration
We believe
that progress
doesn’t
happen in a
vacuum.
Whether you’re one of the 10,000
scientists working at CERN or one of
the 165 people at ResearchGate, we
believe that we’re more productive,
impactful, and groundbreaking
when we work together. That’s why
we’re committed to connecting all
of science on our network.
9
We believe that
facts are the
building blocks of
our future.
We believe in
evidence
Scientists don’t take any
assumptions for granted and
neither do we. We take an
evidence-based, analytical
approach to problem-solving
so that we can push our
platform, our company, and
science forward.
10
We believe
that the future
is bright.
We believe
in optimism
Though the challenges facing the world are global,
systemic, and daunting, we believe in the power
of science to affect change. That’s why our goal
is to empower each and every scientist to be as
productive and impactful as possible.
11
We serve
scientists
Science shapes our world, informs our
decisions, impacts our beliefs, and
determines our future. We believe that by
empowering and connecting scientists,
we can create bold, positive change in our
lives and in our world.
Our team is committed
to connecting the world
of science and making
research open to all.
