This may take much longer than 72 hours. Note also the exceptions listed in https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14293081125777-Reviewing-editing-and-featuring-your-research:
"Research items will not automatically merge if:
you have added both of the research items yourself
See "How do I edit my research item's details?" in https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14293081125777-Reviewing-editing-and-featuring-your-research for instructions. I recommend to delete the DOI, wait until the entries will be merged, and add the DOI again.
