## About

Academic social network for sharing research papers and collaborating with scientists

## Activity summary

ResearchGate is accessible from Syria. Community testing in July 2026 confirmed the site loads from a Syrian connection with the registration entry point reachable and no block page. A volunteer had contacted the company in February 2026 requesting a compliance review, and it sent an automated acknowledgment saying the request was under review, with no further reply.

## Community reports

- 2026-07-29 — Verified. Community testing from a Syrian IP confirmed that researchgate.net loads normally, with the homepage and the «Join for free» registration entry point both reachable and no block page or error returned. The tester reported reaching the account creation screen without problems. Status updated from unknown to accessible.

- 2026-02-26 — Company Responded. ResearchGate's support team responded to the unblocking request via an automated email from support@researchgatesupport.zendesk.com. The response confirmed that the request has been received and is being reviewed by support staff. No timeline or specific action regarding the Syria access request was provided. The response appears to be an automated acknowledgment rather than a human review.
- 2026-02-26 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed ResearchGate's support team at support@researchgate.net requesting a compliance review to restore access for users in Syria. The email referenced the 2025 OFAC and EU sanctions lift with supporting documentation from unblocksyria.com/resources, and highlighted that several other platforms have already resumed services.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
