Abstract

Undoubtedly social network platforms today play a very important role in creating bridges for communication for every profession. The success that Facebook has achieved as a generic platform, has led to the launch of other social network platforms that aimed to provide services to the academic community. Platforms like Academia.edu and ResearchGate today are very popular and widely used by the academic community and professionals. These platforms known as ASNS (Academic social networking sites) provide opportunities for this community to connect and make the results of their work easier to be accessed. Based on the impact that ASNS have, and after reviewing comparative analysis from the survey with end-users, the academic community and professionals, which attempted to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of actual most used platforms, we have published a new socio-academic platform, AcademicGate, so we made sure to include proposals revealed by surveys. The purpose of this paper is to present the data collected from the comparison analysis taken from the surveys available on the web with two most used ASNS, Academia.edu and ResearchGate, and the users of the new-built platform AcademicGate, which is currently in use in Northern Macedonia. The survey was conducted with students, academic staff and other professionals.
