1- "I, Dr. Amir Afzal, am currently affiliated with the prestigious Barani Agricultural Research Institute in Chakwal, Pakistan. My published works primarily focus on the field of agriculture and its associated domains. However, I have recently discovered a discrepancy on ResearchGate, where my work is erroneously attributed to Dr. Amir Muhammad Afzal, a Physics Professor affliated with Ripha University.
2-My research endeavors encompass a wide range of agricultural topics, aiming to address critical issues and propel advancements in the industry. Accurate attribution of my work is of paramount importance, as it represents the culmination of my efforts and the findings derived from my dedicated research in the agricultural sector.
3-I emphasize the significance of precise data representation and attribution, as it ensures the rightful recognition of researchers and their specialized areas of expertise. It is my earnest hope that ResearchGate expeditiously corrects this information, thereby aligning my published works with my name and affiliation.
4- I kindly request the rectification of this mistake by ResearchGate to accurately reflect my contributions to the agricultural field.
5-I appreciate your attention to this matter and the swift resolution of the discrepancy on ResearchGate, further promoting integrity and accuracy in academic publications."
I have added the list of references of publications of me.
6-Please note that if you have any specific details or additional information you would like to include, I would be glad to assist you in incorporating them
This is a frequent problem in ResearchGate in case of similar names. See "A researcher has wrongly claimed co-authorship of my publication" in https://explore.researchgate.net/display/support/Authorship for instructions how to correct this. But unlike this help page suggests, most probably it was not the other author himself who wrongly claimed authorship, but ResearchGate's automatic algorithm wrongly identified another researcher as the author and assigned your publication(s) to his profile.
Please note that you wrote to the RG community, not to the RG team. However, the support team will also just refer to the help page.
Upon reviewing the response received from ResearchGate, it appears that I may have inadvertently approached an irrelevant forum regarding the issue of incorrect authorship attribution. To ensure a resolution, it is advisable to identify the appropriate authority or entity responsible for handling such matters within ResearchGate. Consequently, I should redirect my efforts toward contacting ResearchGate's support team directly, as they possess the expertise and resources to address the issue effectively. By conveying the situation with clarity and providing supporting evidence, such as affiliation and publication records, I can assert the importance of rectifying the erroneous authorship attribution for the sake of maintaining accuracy and upholding the integrity of academic publishing. Through persistent and professional communication with ResearchGate's support team, I hope to find a satisfactory resolution to this matter.
