ResearchHub is an online scholarly network that presents publications, researchers, institutions, journals, datasets, projects, questions, opportunities, and related scholarly relationships through a searchable web platform.[1] The platform describes its purpose as connecting publications, researchers, institutions, data, ideas, and scholarly relationships in one open research network.[1]
Scope and features
ResearchHub's public interface is organized around several types of scholarly entities, including research publications, researcher profiles, institutional records, journals, research topics, datasets, projects, questions, and opportunities.[1] The platform also provides search and links between related records, allowing visitors to move from a publication to associated authors, journals, and institutions.[1]
The platform includes researcher-profile and identity features, including an option to connect an ORCID identifier.[1] The availability of an ORCID connection option on ResearchHub does not, by itself, establish an endorsement or certification by ORCID.
ResearchHub also publishes a section called ResearchHub Rankings, abbreviated RHR, which it describes as an evidence-based system for global institutional comparisons.[1] Claims about ranking scores, methodology, authority, or comparative performance require independent verification before they can be presented as established facts in an encyclopedic article.
Context
The functions presented by ResearchHub fall within the broader field of scholarly communication, which includes the creation, publication, dissemination, and discovery of academic research.[2][circular reference] Scholarly communication also includes processes for evaluating research, distributing it to scholarly communities, and preserving it for future use.[2]
Online research networks can combine repository, discovery, and social-network features. For example, ResearchGate is described as a commercial social-networking site for scientists and researchers to share papers, ask and answer questions, and find collaborators.[3][circular reference] This comparison describes a general category and does not establish that ResearchHub has the same ownership, scale, business model, or market position.
The platform's references to open or freely accessible research should be distinguished from the technical meaning of open access. Open access generally concerns practices that make copyrightable publications available to readers without access charges or other barriers; the term may also refer to additional reuse rights under an open licence.[4][circular reference] A record being visible through ResearchHub does not, by itself, establish that the underlying work is open access or that it may be redistributed.
