The above link is for RG member Huxley Harris. He has 46 publications and 306 citations.
Most of the journal names is clearly Predatory journals manipulating and undermining research
An example:
Paper title: Including Affective Computing in User Experience Design for Emotion-Aware Systems
References: Most of the references are not related to the scope of the study in the published paper.
The entire length of the paper is 14 pages. 5 1/2 pages for the write up and the rest of 9 pages are references, which are 128 references. Most of the references are also not cited in the paper.
Doesn't Research Gate wants to uphold integrity and ethics? shouldnt they verify authenticity of publication. It is clear, that Research Gate is failing on this part and they seem to ignore a problem exist.
This is only one example and instance. There are many such in the platform including from the same profile.
Dear Mohamed Mihilar Shamil
Indeed very suspicious. I have taken a good look into this the last couple of days and I found numerous 'strange' things. Looking for example at the paper you mentioned: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/392769106_Including_Affective_Computing_in_User_Experience_Design_for_Emotion-Aware_Systems
then not only the references are fully unrelated but take the first reference
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/389890574_Securing_the_AI_supply_chain_Mitigating_vulnerabilities_in_AI_model_development_and_deployment then there is something suspicious, 153 citations for a paper in a predatory journal of one year old…from another suspicious profile (look for example at his Google Scholar profile https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Ai5-d9UAAAAJ&hl=nl&oi=sra ).
Anyway some ‘papers’ are included in this Huxley profile which he does not even authored:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/387140034_Enterprise_Architecture_Aligning_IT_Strategy_with_Business_Goals
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/387140034_Enterprise_Architecture_Aligning_IT_Strategy_with_Business_Goals
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/386143117_Cybersecurity_in_Smart_Cities
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/386075854_AI-Driven_Predictive_Analytics_in_Orthopedic_Surgery_Outcomes
This last one is a fake paper with fake profiles like
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Adita-Sultana
Simply look at volume 19 no. 2, 2024 which simply does not correspond with the numbering in the real journal
https://redc.revistas.csic.es/index.php/redc/issue/archive look at how a real paper in the legit journal looks like https://redc.revistas.csic.es/index.php/redc/article/view/1491/2374
His most cited paper https://www.researchgate.net/publication/372133311_Fortune's_Roll_A_High-Stakes_Gambling_Adventure is suggested to be published by SciencePG in 2015 but the real paper with the correct info (vol, issue, pages see also enclosed file)) is https://www.sciencepublishinggroup.com/article/10.11648/j.iotcc.s.2015030601.19
It looks like it finally ended up here
https://sirpublishers.org/index.php/jocpap/article/view/32 in 2023 and Harris, H. Fortune's Roll: A High-Stakes Gambling Adventure. Journal Of Applied Linguistics And Tesol, 2022, 5(4): 50-72.
However if one check the citations of this ‘stellar’ publication then it is clear that almost all citations are from (most likely) fake profiles:
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/David-Alexander-56
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Austin-Jeremy
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Hassan-Ali-170 ??
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Furqan-Md-Rasel ??
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Emily-Edward
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Amelia-Ethan
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Saqib-Luqman
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/373214717_Machine_Learning_and_AI_Partners_in_Ensuring_Data_Integrity_in_Clinical_Trials Mohsin Khan profile is in the meantime removed
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Nazakat-Ali-9
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Danial-Khan-9
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jordan_Adler4
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/373218195_Data_Governance_Strategies_for_Data_Integrity_in_Real-world_Evidence_Clinical_Trials Monal Hassan profile is in the menatime removed
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Dania_Mohsin
So, this looks like a yet another pool of deception. See for a similar case for example my reply of 17 August 2025 here https://www.researchgate.net/post/ResearchGate_fails_to_act_on_a_serious_and_obvious_example_of_scientific_misconduct_fraud_scam_case_report_2 where I suspect that citiation mill companies are involved that create fake profiles and boost citation numbers of those who paid for it.
I do not have the time right now to dig into this more but I think you stumbled on a highly dubious profile (with an even bigger story behind it).
Best regards.
