I could make a PR with this one.

Suggested colour: #40ba9b , from website's stylesheet. They also use #00ccbb but as the former is used in their full logo I think that's what we should go with.

We also need to decide whether or not to include the box. They use it without the box themselves in a couple of places (see page 12 of this PDF, for example) so we should be able to do the same. What do the other @simple-icons/maintainers think?

#40ba9b seems like the best option for the colour. As for the logo, I would expect it with box, but that is just an intuition and not based on anything.

In the header (when you are logged in), the .header-logged-in__logo element has an unboxed icon shape in background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml;...") and a background-color of #00ccbb.

Good find, @greenled 👍 I think that helps the case of us using the unboxed version. And I'd suggest basing it on that base-64 encoded SVG.

As for the colour, it looks like #40ba9b is only really used on the homepage - the header of every other page uses #00ccbb. Couple that with the logged in logo & the mask-icon link in the HTML source both using that colour too and I change my vote to #00ccbb.

I just found out ResearchGate icon IS ALREADY IN Simple Icons 😅. Added by @runxel in #1980 with box and #00ccbb color.

[PeterShaggyNoble]

D'oh! That's why the name was familiar! Sorry, I'd assumed you'd already searched the existing icons - my bad.

Before closing this out, though, let's decide whether or not we want to update to the unboxed version.

[greenled]

No, my bad. Nevertheless, I would like to ask you to consider the unboxed version. The LinkedIn and Twitter ReasearGate profiles use the unboxed version.

[PeterShaggyNoble]

Seeing as the favicon seems to be the only place they use the boxed version, so, I think it's safe enough for us to update to the unboxed if you want to put a PR together.
