What about them?
Asking about how to use them? This forum is fine. Asking about the market viability of various cores they offer? Market Discussion. ---

Either way, there's a research agent guide in the EVElopedia which will likely answer any question you have.

I thank you for the link. I'm sure I've read it before, but I read it top to bottom to check.
Okay, it says that you can ignore the daily notices of the agents & still collect daily RP.
Is there official evidence to back this? Or how do I tell? Because I don't see an increase in RP with an agent I've ignored.
Thanks for any help.

This is categorically the case. Don't worry, you'll get them. Why do you think everyone's whining about "ghost RPs"?

Ghost RP is specifically the accrual of RP by characters on unsubscribed accounts. But your point is painfully clear, that a character is still accruing RP after the account is unsubscribed does lend great weight to the theory that you can ignore agents and still accrue RP :)
As for the characters on active accounts? I accrue thousands of RP from a half-dozen agents each month, and I'm not even in the same region as them - much less running their daily courier mission.
Ripley should make sure she isn't confusing the "RP/day" with "RP" columns, and log out/log in to see if the numbers change.

Confirmed. I have 25 R&D agents over 5 characters, and no way I'm going to do all those missions. If you ignore them, the agents will not send out those emails again, and you can pick up your cores every couple of months.
Just wait a day to see your total RP update.

Whoa! I was unaware of ghost researching. Well it is more satisfying to hear ppl that actually use r&d agents & don't run the missions. I was going insane with running about every day.

You only need to run the mission before you stop research (to change to another agent, or to update the agent with your current skills and standings).

Actually there is a work around if you choose to do so. Ask the agent for a mission, then decline it. Then buy your datacores and end your research. Next restart research with that agent or another.
Your new skills will be updated and you will avoid that unspoken standings bug that still lurks.

One thing else (sorry if someone else already mentioned this, I don't see it) but if you do the mission each day, you get double research points that day for that agent.

This is correct. They are simple courier or trade missions that can be completed with 5 minutes. You will also gain Corp standings and after 16 missions, will get a storyline mission offer for Faction Standing increase.

Wouldn't your "increase standings" thread help this guy out?

You talking about the Faction Standing Repair Plan?
Well, guess it wouldn't hurt to link it.
I didn't link it before since the original post was only asking for info about R&D agents. However, I did add a section to the 'Plan' about using R&D agents to help raise Faction standings.
