How to report plagiarism in a publication


A friend showed me a paper that literally copied two pages of another paper, without any reference. This clearly is a fraud. He tried to inform the authors of the original paper. Is there any other way to deal with this situation?



Answer



Contact the editor of the journal in which the fraudulent paper was published, present your claims, and be prepared to submit evidence. If there's no response, contact the editor of the original journal - they may be able to use legal means to force the retraction of the fraudulent paper.
