Fail to claim paper authorship

Multiple researchers on Hugging Face report being unable to claim authorship of their papers due to a system bug that blocks re-submission after denial. Users like Hudx111 and hongruijia face persistent "already claimed" errors for arXiv papers, while moderator hysts directs them to a FAQ guide and notes that account-level resets require email contact.

When there are multiple similar requests like this in several places, would it be easier for you if I directed them to a specific thread? @hysts /u/hysts @meganariley /u/meganariley hysts https://discuss.huggingface.co/u/hysts 22 @John6666 /u/john6666 Thanks for the suggestion. 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 Thank you hysts. This should reduce the number of people who get lost… Hudx111 https://discuss.huggingface.co/u/Hudx111 24 Hi @meganariley /u/meganariley @hysts /u/hysts , I have the same issue with arXiv: 2602.12670. Now it says “You’ve already claimed authorship on this paper,” so I can’t resubmit. Could you please assign the paper to my account? Thank you so much Hudx111 https://discuss.huggingface.co/u/Hudx111 25 Hi @hysts /u/hysts @meganariley /u/meganariley , I am also affected by this issue for arXiv: 2602.12670. My authorship claim was denied, and now the page says I already claimed it, so I cannot resubmit. Could someone help reset the claim status or assign the paper to my account? HF username: Hudx111 Thank you Hi @hysts /u/hysts @meganariley /u/meganariley I have the same problem with my paper: 2510.24563 I recently attempted to claim authorship for my paper, but the status has remained “pending” for quite some time without any updates. I 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. Could you please assign this to me? Thanks Looking forward to your response. hysts https://discuss.huggingface.co/u/hysts 27 Hi @Hudx111 /u/hudx111 , thanks for the report. For the recommended steps and typical timelines for authorship claims, please follow this guide: In 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. hysts https://discuss.huggingface.co/u/hysts 28 Hi @hongruijia /u/hongruijia , thanks for the ping I 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. For reference on the process + typical timelines: Hudx111 https://discuss.huggingface.co/u/Hudx111 29 I have same problem for these three papers: Another is 2305.06525 new user can only place two urls in reply I claimed authorship of them, but have been denied. After I edit my profile, I found that I can’t re-claim the authorship again, with the notification You've already claimed authorship on this paper
