In summary, the conversation discusses the speaker's interest in following certain people who conduct research in their field and the convenience of using the researchgate network for this purpose. However, the issue arises when some researchers do not have accounts on researchgate. The solution proposed is to use arXiv, a preprint server where most physicists publish their work before submitting to a journal.

I want to follow some certain people who conduct the research I am interested in. I want to be up to date whenever they publish a new article. How can I follow these people?

So far for me the convenient way was the researchgate network. But some researches do not have an accounts there, however on researchgate it is possible to search for articles and even subscribe for people even if they don't have an account there. I can subscribe for such people without account, but I don't get any updates from them, is it possible to get updates from people without researchgate account on researchgate somehow?

Thank you.

You should look on the arXiv. It's a preprint server. That's where most physicists put their work before submitting to a journal.
