How do I add figures to my publications?
At the moment, it is only possible to add figures to Articles and Conference papers you've added on ResearchGate. In the future, it will also be possible for all other publication types.
There are different ways to add figures to your articles depending on whether they already have figures or not.
If your article doesn't have any figures:

3. Click on the icon for Figures
4. Click the Upload figures button
5. Find and select the file you would like to add to your article
6. Add a caption with a short explanation (minimum 31 characters) of the figure you just added, then click Done
