Someone on researchgate is claiming two of my publications with the names edited to reflect and serve as his own. How do I claim the rightful authorship of the papers?
@Jubril O. Abdulmalik this might be hard to claim without intervention of ResearchGate or inboxing the person to come off the page.
You might want to report the person to the RG to help you remove them from his page. Follow this;
Or the best route; read the instructions on reporting the person's profile to the RG support line 👇

See "Another researcher has claimed my publications" in https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14292798510993 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 him as the author and assigned your publication to his profile. This is a frequent problem in ResearchGate in case of similar names.
