The document discusses how social networks for scientists like ResearchGate affect libraries. It provides an overview of ResearchGate, describing its characteristic functions such as publications, DOIs, repositories, and RG scores. The conclusion notes that researchers want to collaborate online, and librarians may help by explaining best practices for social media. The discussion considers how these networks could impact institutional repositories, research profiling systems, metrics, and research support services in libraries.
