"How can we differentiate between cloned journals and authentic Scopus-indexed journals?"

Dear Deepak Suwalka

Check the following source for identified examples of cloned or better called hijacked journals https://retractionwatch.com/the-retraction-watch-hijacked-journal-checker/

In some cases you can check SCImago https://www.scimagojr.com go to the journal title and in most cases a "homepage" link is there to direct you to the real version.

Best regards.
