Instead of adding another name to your profile, I wonder if you might instead just add those papers published under your maiden name? <br /><br />You have three options to add publications to your profile: "author match", in which RG suggests publications that might belong to you; citation upload from a "reference manager"; and "manual upload". <br /><br />I had several publications in my profile that RG had automatically assigned to me but that contained errors in the citation. I "fixed" them by first deleting the erroneous citation from my profile (use the "remove" button below each citation) and then uploaded the correct citation from my Endnote application. To do this, you:<br /><br />1. open your Endnote library (or other reference manager)<br />2. Locate the reference you wish to export and highlight it in the list<br />3. Look under File, then select "export"<br />4. Select "XML" as the type and then export to your desktop.<br />5. Then select "upload publications" in RG and click the Reference Manager option. <br />6. Click "upload file" and locate the XML file you just exported and select it. The citation should automatically be imported into RG where it will appear along with all of your other publications. If RG accepts it, you will get a message telling you the citation was successfully imported. <br /><br />I tested this procedure with a fictitious hyphenated name that included my current last name, and it worked. RG accepted the fake citation that I had created and exported from Endnote. You should be able to do the same with your legitimate publications.<br />DrDoyennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01923421604660796579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817425618078186784.post-54632335121477540732012-11-26T02:56:30.006-06:002012-11-26T02:56:30.006-06:00Researchgate is certainly a useful community to in...Researchgate is certainly a useful community to increase your interactions with the community and your visibility. I (biologist, PhD student) have gotten valuable suggestions and answers from other members.<br />However, speaking of gender issues, I recently encountered a problem with RG: You cannot add another name to your profile, e.g. when you get married and your name is even just slightly different afterwards (in my case, compound name). I tried adding publications that I co-authored before my marriage (under my maiden name), and there is absolutely no way they can be added, except sending a manual request to the support, which hasn't been answered in weeks. This means that my scientific impact is systematically underestimated in my profile, and this issue would probably affect more women than men in Researchgate.Marianoreply@blogger.com
