I receive messages saying a work of mine has been cited by another scholar. But it turns out that what has in fact been cited is the work I've reviewed (not my review of it).
This generates spurious citation counts and highly misleading research metrics.
Please, fix this element of your algorithm. It is a time-waster.
Thank you,

Please note that you wrote to the ResearchGate community, not to the RG team. You may try to contact RG's support team at https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/requests/new.
However, I think it is not worth writing to the support team. There are many misidentified citations in ResearchGate (I know this also from my own publications), and the staff does not have the capacity (and possibly also not the technical means) to correct these "by hand". All citations are identified by automated algorithms, and these algorithms are obviously far from being perfect.
