When a reputable peer reviewed journal publishes a manuscript.....and when you report to that journal that the published work is plagiarized from another published work. You provide them with the evidence and the journal refuses to address the misconduct or investigate as per their own published policies in this regard. Where can you go from here? There appears to be no authority of oversight over journals that refuse to clean up their own backyard. How can we as scientists force journals to honor their own integrity policies? Is there any organization within science or the government that will police a journal that refuses to do so?

Share your experience on the matter along with evidence among the colleagues whom work in the same field and are likely to cite the plagiarized work and request them to share the experience with their colleagues. Also if the journal is blind-eyed, report to the institution of the author/s so that if it is a responsible organization will take appropriate action against plagiarism. The journal may have been misled by an irresponsible reviewer/s to accept the manuscript for publication who did not bother do a responsible job. However, that is not an excuse for them to resolve the problem.
