Dear Mary Elizabeth Cerruti Bernardes-de-Oliveira ,

here you write to the RG community and not to the RG administration or RG help center.

We here as RG members cannot change the names or parts of it; you have to do that by yourself;

Please see for example the following link of the RG support pages:

https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14293081125777-Reviewing-editing-and-featuring-your-research

and scroll a bit down to get access to the autor names editing section:

'To edit author names:'

In case that all that your efforts fail you may directly contact the RG help center:

https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=13146494812305

Good luck and

best regards

G.M.

Dear Mary Elizabeth Cerruti Bernardes-de-Oliveira ,

In addition to what Gerhard Martens wrote: I wonder where you found "Maria" instead of "Mary". When a publication is attached to your profile, the author's name is always displayed as given in your profile, independently on how it is spelled in the original publication. As an example: In the original paper at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/252074489 my name is given in Russian transliteration (when transliterated back, it would be "V. R. Dik"). However, the bibliographic data in ResearchGate display my name as "Wolfgang R. Dick", as for all other publications.

Best regards,

Wolfgang
