Is your own paper published already? In that case it is an easy matter, I think, to have the stolen paper be deleted on the corresponding publication site. Just alert the editorial board, and send your published pdf plus the details of volume/pages. I hope it works.

Prof. Dr. Patriksson many thanks for your advice.

Asma'll - Michael is correct. Send as much evidence to the editor (and if you can find the contact details of some or all of the editorial board and send to them at the same time). If you just send to the editor - and they decide to 'ignore' it - there isn't much more that you can do beyond that. If other board members know - it should take that posibility out of the equation. If proven, also ask the editor to publish a corregendum in the next issue highlighting what has happened.

You could also contact seniopr employers at the institute they work at - highliting a serious breach of academic integrity and plagiarism. You may not get much joy from that - but you never know.

If the editors do not respond quickly, then check whether the journal (or its publisher) is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Almost all legitimate journals are members, so you can find resources on the COPE website to help you get the outcome you deserve.

Dear All,

I sincerely appreciate your thoughts and

suggestions. I have written to the Editor and demanded for an inquiry into the case.

Best regards,

Isma'il.
