Association of ResearchGate research influence score with other metrics of top cited sports biomechanics scholars

Abstract

Study aim: Scientific networking sites are increasingly popular in connecting researchers and providing influence metrics, however the research on measures like the ResearchGate Research Influence Score (RG RIS) are limited. This study documented the associations between RG RIS, usage, and prestige metrics from Google Scholar (GS), RG, and Scopus for top cited scientists in sports biomechanics.
