Harry Gosker

I have the same question. I want to get rid of "... was cited in a publication".

Horst Treiblmaier

Harry Gosker So far I have not found a solution. However, after clicking on "Hide" for several months, I do not see any updates from this researcher anymore. Hopefully RG will come up with a better solution.

Tnx. I hope they do. It really makes no sense - I do not even follow that researcher. And even if I did, I do not want to receive updates when papers of others are cited.

You are right. I did not follow that research either. I guess this is a bug in the RG recommendation system.
