- You want reviews from the broader community, not just the author's network.
Choose ResearchGate when
- You want to network specifically with authors to request full-text access.
- You are managing your own lab's publication profile.
- You are looking for job postings in academia.
FAQ
Is Attendemia a social network for scientists?
No. ResearchGate is built around the "scientist profile" and networking. Attendemia is built around the "content item" and discovery. You come here to find what to read, not necessarily to connect with authors.
Can I upload my papers to Attendemia?
You can submit links to your papers (hosted on arXiv, etc.) and claim authorship to build your reputation, but we do not host the file itself. We are a discovery layer, not a repository.
Does Attendemia measure impact differently?
Yes. ResearchGate focuses on "reads" and citations. Attendemia focuses on "reviews" and "engagement" from verified experts, giving you a qualitative signal rather than just a quantitative one.
