I found two conference papers in online published with some authors, they used (copied) my data and just rewrite many paragraphs of my paper, directly. But they didn't cite my paper as well as no mentioned about my paper. What kind of action, I can take at that situation?
I am waiting for the experts and researchers comments.
Dear Imrose,
I believe that, first If Your paper is linked to a University, you need to search if your faculty has a department of innovation and copyright and tell them.
If the paper isn't associeted to a University, You have to communicate the Editor of the Journal in question and tell him. In a similar way, if the paper was submmeted in a conference, search for the chairman.
Or in the latter case, find a lawyer specializing in copyright.
I hope You solve this problem.Today the codes of ethics are very rigid.

I think you can first directly contact the person and discuss the issue, citing your work and its chronology when it was made public and where. He/she will have to say something and you can continue from there you can meet the managing director/or editorial office of the journal in which the paper appeared and they might reconsider their publication, if they indeed find that the work is directly a copy of your work.
Thanks Miss. Vanessa Meloni Massara and Mr. Dejenie A. Lakew for your prompt reply. I already send message ti the author regarding this issue, but they didn't reply yet. I send them one more notifications today again.
Furthermore, this paper is not associated with University. Now I am planning to find out the Conference Chair of this conference, as Dr. Massara's suggestion.
By the way, thanks once again for response!
Dear Dr. Muhit:
I agree with both Dr. Massara and Dr. Lakew. Beyond of a high discretion level that event requires, it is necessary further documentation being indispensable determination of the chronology of events, as mentioned by Dr. Lakew.
Furthermore, the existence of some kind of irregular procedure should be verified by a third team, non-directly involved in the question. This team will verify the veracity and extension of the claim of author of question with unbiased view.
Also, sometimes, a contact by e-mail can undergo some kind of delay, simultaneously the contact should be tried with all team that have authored the "paper". Consider that is rare, a complete team take an erroneous decision being more realistic an isolated decision, an act of unique person. In this sense, it is necessary a high level of diplomacy by all. It is right that in due time, all will be solved.
Kind regards
Marcos Nobre
Dear Dr. Marcos Augusto Lima Nobre,
Yes, you are right! Still I am waiting for the author's reply. Moreover, I have no intention to take any harsh step at this time. I just want to know the fact from author's. If they can give me a proper clarification I will not mess anymore. By the way, I am preparing a report now, including those papers data which is copied from mine.
BTW, thanks again for your response!
Dear
you can make a communication with him and ask him why? . If he correct his mistake, i think leave him . If not then published a warning to publisher to non-cooperation with him.
Dear Dr. Jean-Pierre Magnot, it's too frustrating - you know the feelings! By the way, I will let you know about it, once I will take a final decision about how I dealing with.
Dear Dr. Qasim Mohammed Hussein, I asked the corresponding author about it for 2 times. The first mail I send to him 2.5 months ago, and the second mail is 2 weeks ago. But still there is no response. Believe me, I have no intention to capture those authors, I just wanted to know the reason behind it. Research can be same, it's OK for me and I am smart enough to tolerate it. But, if the person doesn't want to reply after seeing my mail (through mail tracker I found that, he read my mails more than 50 times), I must have to take some action.
By the way, thanks for your suggestion, though :)
I guess that's one of the reasons is the scientific weaknesses of him.
Yeah, you are right Dr. Hussein! By the way, I already send a message to the Conference chair of that conference just about my issue with attaching a report where I attached my publication, and where he (the author) copied from me. Let's see, what is the response from Conference Chair.
Thanks all for the continuous support and care about my query.
