This is how they did it

Hi

My paper in academic journal had been plagiarized by a  journal from India. I have e-mailed the author, the journal and the institution of the author.

The institution of the author had reply my e-mail immediately saying that the matter will be investigated (thanks for that prompt reply!).  In 24 hour, the institution replied to me saying that there were no such authors registered in their institution.

The institution take further action by  e-mailing the publisher to seek information on the author or any communication through e-mail from the author to the publisher. However no respond had been received yet from the publisher. I have already e-mail the publisher to withdraw the plagiarized paper  for 3 times and still no replies.

At the same time, my friend had also addresses to me that the other paper in the journal were also had been plagiarized.

Until today, the plagiarized paper had not been withdraw from their website.

I'm writing this post to give awareness on plagiarism by predatory journal.

This is my paper
