There is an Author Noor Ul Ain from University of Gujrat, Pakistan. She is shamelessly claiming my articles on Research gate. What should I do? Research gate is not allowing me to list my articles in my profile.
First, contact the person and invite them to rectify the situation.
If there is no response, contact the dean of her university and report the matter.
If there is no response, try to get ResearhGate to remove the person's profile. However, my experience is that ResearchGate is very slow to move, and frequently ignores things hoping they will go away.
Another avenue if there is no response from the university is to report the matter to Retraction Watch. They cover retractions, plagiarism (including making false claims to authorship). This kind of publicity might move the situation along a bit.
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 herself who wrongly claimed authorship, but ResearchGate's automatic algorithm wrongly identified her as the author and assigned your publication to her profile. This is a frequent problem in ResearchGate in case of similar names. I have repeatedly replied to similar questions in the past, to another right this morning: https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_to_Report_an_Authorship_Misrepresentation
Contact the person and tell him that behavior is unacceptable. Get it fixed.
