Article: Integrating intravenous frusemide treatment into the community for heart failure patients
Dear Sir/Madam
I am one of the authors of this article but the citation went to a wrong person. I never worked in Mekelle University,Ethiopia. and I am not Prof of Pharmacology. The name on the citation is Prof Solomon Weldegebreal Asgedom and the article is included in his list of publications. This individual has never been involved in the work of this article and should automatically sent a correction.
My correct name is Dr Solomon Asgedom and I was actively involved in the study and I was the main consultant cardiologist reviewing the study.
The person should correct the citation immediately when it is coming on his name. It is a professional misconduct to include an article on the list of publications if one is not involved in the work of the article. I did not get any notification of the citation or publication but one of my colleagues noted this on ResearchGate and alerted me.
Would you review and correct this and advise the professor?
Kind Regards
Dr Solomon Asgedom
Please note that you wrote to the ResearchGate community, not to the RG team. However, it is not worth writing to the support team because they do not have the capacity to help "by hand". But you may use a simple procedure to correct this mistake. See "Another researcher has claimed my publications" in https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14292798510993-Authorship for instructions. 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 one of the authors and assigned your publication to his profile. This is a frequent problem in ResearchGate in case of similar names.
