Dear researchers, Recently, my paper got published in a journal. however, i have used two figures from this published paper without reference to the source, in other paper (current statut: Decision in Process).
Now, I have been getting email from editor inviting me to sent a published paper to him for the comparison **My apologies for the recent delay to your manuscript. While assessing your manuscript prior to a final decision on it I noticed that your submitted paper is very similar to some recent published work from yourself and some of your co-authors. The paper to which I am referring is titled ‘,,,,,,’. I was wondering if you would mind providing a copy of your published work for us to assess? We would like to ensure that we can publish your current submission despite the similarity to the published work**
What should I do?
