Very strange!

As suggested by Adil Othman Abdullah you should immediately inform the Editor to notify the error on their part in the forthcoming issue of the journal immediately.

@ Adil Othman Abdullah

@ Subir Bandyopadhyay

Thank you for your responses.

I have contacted them through researchgate but haven't got a response yet.

I also sent an email for the journal. I am follwoing up with them.

Well Dr Khulood Kayed Shattnawi, this looks very weird and so extreme, because YES, in the DOI: https://doi.org/10.1097/ANC.0000000000000421, shows your name as the only author for your article, but at the same time, on the website link, it shows that there is 2 ladies' name with you. However, I have one reasonable explanation for this: I'm saying maybe, just maybe the publisher, choose your article to publish it in Handbook, and those 2 names the Editors for the (Handbook), but, I still believe that you must to be in contact with the publisher as soon as possible. One more thing, Dr Khulood Kayed Shattnawi, When you published your article with them. Did you sign any contract that says that you are the only author for your article?

It turn out that the two co-authers are the section editors of this journal

Section Editors cannot put their names as co-authors by any mean, especially without the consent of the original author.

Yes Yes, this is the only logical explanation Dr Khulood Kayed Shattnawi.

From my assessment I think that Ingenta where you found other names is not a publisher rather a service provide in terms of indexing and so on. Your publisher is Wolters Kluwer and your article was published in one of their journals named Advances in Neonatal Care. However, you may contact the publisher to inform Ingenta to edit that. Credits should not in any way be given to those who are not part of the work.

you should contact the editor

As Dr Ayman said you should contact the editor of the journal and also you should email the authors to understand why they added them self to your research.

Thank you guys for your helpful comments.

Actually I have contacted the journal and they said that there is nothing that they can do from their side, even though the added co-auhtors are the journal section editors (see their responce below).

I also have contacted these two section editors through their ResearchGate account, but not heard from them yet.

"Thank you again for your message! Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do from our end to update the listings, since it’s correct on our website, PubMed, and Ovid, the problem seems to be from the specific index you’re looking at. Something about their extraction process must inaccurately separate the authors from the editor listing. In order to correct their records, you will need to contact the repository directly to point out the error."

A few minutes ago I have reported this problem to Ingenta where the mistake appeared and thankfully they promptly rsponded to my email and said that they have raised a bug with the team which deals with the content so that they can correct the attribution listed for the authorship for this article. And hopefuly this will hapen soon.

I hope so Dr Khulood Kayed Shattnawi, congratulations.

It may be an error but it may be fixed. But if not an error and deliberate then it can be fixed again. Proofs of authorship is easy to establish.

I think it is impossible....
