ResearchGate PSE – How it Works?

Google PSE · 26 juillet 2022

ResearchGate is the world’s largest professional network for scientists and researchers. Every member has a public profile listing their role, affiliated institution, and published articles — making it one of the best sourcing surfaces for academic and R&D profiles.

How is this PSE/CSE built?

This CSE is built on a precise X-Ray of ResearchGate profile pages:

  • Included: site:researchgate.net/profile/ — only member profile pages
  • Excluded: researchgate.net/profile/*/* — all sub-pages (publications, followers, etc.) are filtered out, keeping only the main profile URL

With Google PSE/CSE, we can query structured data directly from Google’s index, going beyond simple keyword matching.

Which advanced operators can we use?

Profile operators

Role:

more:p:person-role:"title"

more:p:person-role:leader

Queries the person’s current job title or role as indexed by Google from the profile’s structured data.

Organization:

more:p:person-org:"organization"

more:p:person-org:sorbonne

Queries the institution or organization the researcher is affiliated with.

Article operators

Title terms:

more:p:scholarlyarticle-headline:subject

more:p:scholarlyarticle-headline:sars*cov*2

Searches within the titles of the researcher’s published articles — useful for finding domain experts by publication topic.

Year of publication:

more:p:scholarlyarticle-datepublished:year

more:p:scholarlyarticle-datepublished:2023

Filters researchers who have published in a given year — handy for finding active researchers in a specific period.

Note on spaces: The more:p: operators do not support spaces. Use * for AND and | for OR.
