Unfortunately, during research in the researchGate, i found someone has replaced his name instead of my name, as his name is similar to my name, even he is not a doctor which is not accepted and i consider it is scientific theft. hence you are responsible of this situation, I am asking you to correct it immediately. I checked that person profile he has more than 55 publications and I have great doubt that he repeated the same theft with other publications too. I am expecting from you to correct this situation ASAP.

I have detected several errors like that with Research Gate recently. I have detected several unrecognised authors claiming to be co-authors etc and have tried to email Research Gate and alert them to the problem.
