You can also write a letter to the editor of the journal and give a reference to the first publication of the data at the conference. You could also think of asking him to add you as co-author (if you want that).

Dear Bohuslav Uhar,

I suggest you to go through the rules/regulations of Intellectual Property Right and to consult with an expert in that field. Only then you will be able to find some way of further action.

Thank you.

From my experience there is not much that you can do. Of course, you can take legal action, but hardly anyone would be interested in a lawsuit of that kind. Similarly, most academic communities have strict guidelines concerning the usage of data, but most of the times they shy away from concrete action.

However, most likely the student did not publish the raw data, but some analyses, so there is always the opportunity to use different methods for further analyses. I hope that not all is lost.

Dear Bohuslav Uhar,

Thank you for recommending my opinion.

Best wishes to you.

Dear Bohuslav Uhar, Thank you for recommending my opinion.

Dear colleagues,

thank you for your answers.

Dear Bohuslav Uher,

You can simply write to the editor and explain him/her the situation as a " letter to editor" . Attach all your evidences to your letter. Normally, the correspondence author will be asked for explanation. Good Luck

Dear Bohuslav Uhar,

Thank you for for your acknowledgement.

Best wishes to you.

Dear Dr Uhar,

Following are my views. If you agree with the findings presented and interpretation, you can write to Editor in chief about this and either request retraction or addition of you as a co-author. If you do not agree with the data/interpretation, you can write a letter to editor within a time limit and provide more data to get your interpretation published in response to your student's data (if you do not want to publish it separately as new manuscript).

best of luck and keep calm

The views of Tarun Tyagi are highly appreciated.

Thanks to him.
