ResearchGate PSE – How it Works?
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?
