How can I add my institutional affiliations?

What is a primary or additional affiliation?
Your primary affiliation is the institution where you currently work or conduct research. If you have multiple current affiliations, your primary affiliation is the place where you do most of your research.
An additional affiliation is any other institution where you work or conduct research. You can also add institutions where you previously worked as additional affiliations.
Your primary affiliation will also be displayed at the top of your profile, next to your name.

Publications are missing from my institution/department
At the moment, publications on ResearchGate are only attributed to one institution/department. As publications are carried out at a particular institution/department, they are only included in the publication count for the institution/department that we identify using the publication's metadata, rather than the author's current affiliation.
We have not yet finished extracting data and assigning publications, and we are constantly working on optimizing our algorithms, so if your publication should be affiliated to your department but is not yet, this will eventually happen automatically if the affiliation is mentioned in the publication's metadata or full-text. We are, unfortunately, unable at the time to edit the affiliation part of the metadata ourselves.
