My Google Scholar profile shows citations from ResearchGate articles. RG articles were deleted due to certain issues.

How long does it typically take for such citations to disappear from Google Scholar? It's been over two months, and they are still present

  • I don't use GS and don't know a lot about it, but I wouldn't expect much of an answer here. It would be nice if you get one, but a lot of questions on this site with this tag have no answers. I think, from reading some of those questions, that GS is pretty opaque with few outside Google itself understanding how it works. The scale of the problem also suggests that it might take a long time to get a resolution. I don't even know whether they have a way to query them or if they respond. But, don't expect any early solution.

  • Also, see the discussion here: academia.meta.stackexchange.com/q/5376/75368. Note that the discussion itself had no resolution.

    Also, what are Research Gate Articles? AFAIK research gate just gathers/links to articles that are published elsewhere. Did this change recently and you can now "publish" there, too?

  • I'm honestly not sure if GS does any cleanup of references that used to be available, but are not any longer. I suspect there is something related to retractions in place, but if you just uploaded the article to some website and then later deleted it, it may well be that Google will never clean this up.
