I had no idea, so looked this up on the Google AI (which is the reference for this) and found:

'1. Using an Institutional Email:

• Check your email address: Make sure the email address associated with your ResearchGate profile ends with your institution's domain (e.g., @university.edu).
• If it's not recognized: If ResearchGate doesn't recognize your institutional email domain, you can request that they add it. Include proof of your affiliation (e.g., a link to your institution's website or a document proving your connection).
• Requesting a new domain: If your institutional email is not accepted, contact ResearchGate support and provide details about your institution and its email domain to request verification.

2. Verifying without an Institutional Email:

• Provide research evidence: If you don't have an institutional email, you can still verify your account by demonstrating your research work. This can be done by: Providing links to your publications. Uploading files of your research papers. Providing a CV or resume. Manual verification: If you're a published researcher without an institutional email, ResearchGate may manually verify your account after reviewing your provided information.

3. General Verification Tips:

• Complete your profile: Ensure your profile is up-to-date with accurate information, including your current affiliations, publications, and a professional photo.
• Be patient: Verification can take some time, so be patient and allow ResearchGate to process your request.

4. Contacting Support:

• If you encounter issues: If you're having trouble with the verification process, you can contact ResearchGate support for assistance.

Provide details: When contacting support, be sure to provide them with the necessary information, such as your profile URL, the email address associated with your account, and details about the issue you're experiencing. '

Good luck with this; I hope I have not over ridden what is allowed by putting this on. Please delete it if you think I have.

Thank you,
