Adding google scholar and Researchgate profile to the preamble in moderncv
Because you gave us not an complete MWE I can only guess why you are using \vspace{-2.00cm} in your code. I guess it will not do what you want, but that is at last another question ;-)
For your problem there exists an command \socials in class moderncv:
\social[googlescholar]{john.doe} % <====================================
\social[researchgate]{john.doe} % <=====================================
john.doe stands for your account name in both cases.
To be able to use this commands you need to add the following code to your preamble:
% makes a https hyperlink
% usage: \httpslink[optional text]{link}
\newcommand*{\httpslink}[2][]{% <=======================================
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{}}%
{\href{https://#2}{#2}}%
{\href{https://#2}{#1}}}
\newcommand*{\googlescholarsocialsymbol} {\includegraphics[width=0.5cm]{example-image-a}~} % <===================
\newcommand*{\researchgatesocialsymbol} {\includegraphics[width=0.5cm]{example-image-b}~} % <===================
\newcommand*{\testsocialsymbol} {\includegraphics[width=0.5cm]{example-image-c}~} % <===================
\makeatletter
\RenewDocumentCommand{\social}{O{}O{}m}{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#2}{}}%
{
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{linkedin}}{\collectionadd[linkedin]{socials}{\protect\httpslink[#3]{www.linkedin.com/in/#3}}}{}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{googlescholar}}{\collectionadd[googlescholar]{socials}{\protect\httpslink[#3]{www.googlescholar.com/profile/#3}}}{}% <================================================================
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{researchgate}}{\collectionadd[researchgate]{socials}{\protect\httpslink[#3]{www.researchgate.com/profile/#3}}}{}% <================================================================
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{twitter}} {\collectionadd[twitter]{socials} {\protect\httpslink[#3]{www.twitter.com/#3}}} {}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{github}} {\collectionadd[github]{socials} {\protect\httpslink[#3]{www.github.com/#3}}} {}%
}
{\collectionadd[#1]{socials}{\protect\httpslink[#3]{#2}}}}
\makeatother
That allows you to use the given commands \socials. Please see that you have to change the codes www.googlescholar.com/profile/ for
{\protect\httpslink[#3]{www.googlescholar.com/profile/#3}}
to what you need. #3 contains your displayed name that also is the account name.
The second part you have to change are the following commands
\newcommand*{\googlescholarsocialsymbol} {\includegraphics[width=0.5cm]{example-image-a}~}
Instead of \includegraphics[width=0.5cm]{example-image-a} add the image you need to display the logo of that page you did not tell us.
If the displayed name and the link differ in the last part (john.doe is not part of the link but you want to display it you can use the following command:
\social[test][www.test.com/profile/123456]{john.doe} % <=====================================
Then please change the second and third parameter for your needs. Instead test use googlescholar and researchgate to name the new social commands. BTW if you only use the possibility of test you can use a shorter code in your preamble:
\makeatletter
\RenewDocumentCommand{\social}{O{}O{}m}{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#2}{}}%
{
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{linkedin}}{\collectionadd[linkedin]{socials}{\protect\httpslink[#3]{www.linkedin.com/in/#3}}}{}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{twitter}} {\collectionadd[twitter]{socials} {\protect\httpslink[#3]{www.twitter.com/#3}}} {}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{github}} {\collectionadd[github]{socials} {\protect\httpslink[#3]{www.github.com/#3}}} {}%
}
{\collectionadd[#1]{socials}{\protect\httpslink[#3]{#2}}}}
\makeatother
You need this code to get https: instead of http: in the links ...
With the following compiling code (MWE; please next time add one to your question!):
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}
% moderncv themes
\moderncvstyle{banking} % casual, classic, banking, oldstyle and fancy
