Research Gate (RG) is a social networking website where experts from different fields can share their research papers, ask questions that spark a dialogue regarding research related topics, and recommend useful papers to other researchers. This paper aims to examine what factors, or regressors, influence the number of citations that a Florida International University (FIU) professor receives on Research Gate (RG). The nine regressors considered are the Total Research Interest, the number of recommendations, the number of reads, the number of research items, the number of projects, the number of questions, the number of answers, the number of followers, and the number of following associated with each professor. After fitting a number of multiple linear regression models and implementing a variety of techniques to evaluate each models’ adequacy, we concluded that the number of citations that a FIU professor has on RG is influenced by the total research interest, the number of recommendations, the number of reads, the number of research items, and the number of followers that a professor has.
