Every time I want to upload a new item to my profile, I get asked about the authors. What bugs me is the drop-down list. Why should ResearchGate assume just because someone follows my updates, or are from my institution, they are also co-authors with me? Every time I want to do this, I am forced to scroll all the way past list of people I don't even know before I come across my own name as the author to be affixed to the upload. It is beyond irritating, it is annoying.
Please FIX this. The person who is uploading an item should be the SOLE author, unless in the upload he affixes ANOTHER author. REMOVE followers, watchers, etc., from the drop-down list of authors. It is creepy.
Please note that you wrote to the ResearchGate community, not to the RG team. However, you are not forced to scroll down the list. Click into the field right from "Add more authors:", start to type in the name of a co-author, and the drop-down list will change automatically - it will become much shorter.
