I’ve pinned a quick FAQ for paper index & authorship claim issues: [📌 Papers: Indexing & Authorship Claim — Quick Help](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/papers-indexing-authorship-claim-quick-help/173387)\n\nThank you! hysts. This should reduce the number of people who get lost…\n\n[Hudx111](https://discuss.huggingface.co/u/Hudx111)\n24\nHi [@meganariley](/u/meganariley) [@hysts](/u/hysts) , I have the same issue with arXiv: 2602.12670.\n\nNow it says “You’ve already claimed authorship on this paper,” so I can’t resubmit.\n\nCould you please assign the paper to my account?\n\nThank you so much!!!\n\n[Hudx111](https://discuss.huggingface.co/u/Hudx111)\n25\nHi [@hysts](/u/hysts) [@meganariley](/u/meganariley) , I am also affected by this issue for arXiv: 2602.12670.\n\nMy authorship claim was denied, and now the page says I already claimed it, so I cannot resubmit.\n\nCould someone help reset the claim status or assign the paper to my account?\n\nHF username: Hudx111\n\nThank you!!\n\nHi! [@hysts](/u/hysts) [@meganariley](/u/meganariley) I have the same problem with my paper: 2510.24563\n\nI recently attempted to claim authorship for my paper, but the status has remained “pending” for quite some time without any updates.\n\nI would greatly appreciate it if you could look into this matter and let me know if any additional information or verification is required from my end to complete the claim process. I am eager to fully utilize the platform’s features to share my work with the community and engage with other researchers.\n\nCould you please assign this to me? Thanks!\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\n[hysts](https://discuss.huggingface.co/u/hysts)\n27\nHi [@Hudx111](/u/hudx111), thanks for the report.\n\nFor the recommended steps (and typical timelines) for authorship claims, please follow this guide:\n\nIn your case (“already claimed” after a denial), it usually needs an account-level check/reset. Because that can involve email-related details, it’s best handled via the email/contact route in the guide.\n\n[hysts](https://discuss.huggingface.co/u/hysts)\n28\nHi [@hongruijia](/u/hongruijia), thanks for the ping!\n\nI checked on our side and your claim is in the pending queue. It just hasn’t been approved yet (likely timing/availability on the reviewer side). I don’t have the permissions to approve it myself, so for now please give it a bit more time.\n\nFor reference on the process + typical timelines:\n\n[Hudx111](https://discuss.huggingface.co/u/Hudx111)\n29\nI have same problem for these three papers:\n\nAnother is 2305.06525 (new user can only place two urls in reply)\n\nI claimed authorship of them, but have been denied.
