RG's statement is: "We group all publications in our database by author using a name-matching algorithm." This algorithm seems not to be perfect (as well as other algorithms they use). You may simply claim your authorship by opening each publication. Then click on the small arrow looking down (right from "Download" or from "Request full-text") and then on "Claim authorship".

The title of the respective manuscript hardly relates to what I have scientifically done so far and the overall structure of the mail resembles that of these infamous predatory journals. Can anyone confirm this is scam?
Also (if so), I wonder what would be the benefit this people get from me agreeing (or maybe even declining) their assumably fake request?
