My research was published in the Italian magazine Scopus Q2 in 2021. The attachments are my research and the research of Indian researchers in 2023.
Dear Nada Jasim Habeeb
As you indicated already the journal “HighTech and Innovation Journal” is a nice, legit and genuine journal that is Scopus indexed https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/21101096684 and is (together with three other journals of their publisher) a DOAJ member https://www.doaj.org/toc/2723-9535
Unfortunately, the plagiarized paper is published by a journal/publisher that is most likely predatory:
-Their indexing info (https://adi-journal.org/index.php/ajri/indexing ) is full of so-called misleading metrics (https://beallslist.net/misleading-metrics/ ) like DRJI and CiteFactor, often used by predatory journals/publishers
-Vague contact info (physical address is well..)
-Editorial board has no link whatsoever with Indonesia
I am afraid they will not reply to a request to retract the paper you indicated but I guess the best way is to see if the publisher behind your paper is willing to take action against this journal/publisher and indirectly against these authors who so bluntly plagiarized your paper.
Best regards.
Dear Rob Keller,
I am very grateful for your excellent answer. Unfortunately, there is no international procedure or law that prevents scientific theft. But I will try to address the publisher; perhaps he will respond to me. You have all my appreciation and respect.
Dear Nada Jasim Habeeb A bit unexpected but I guess your efforts had success: I noticed that the plagiarised paper is in the meantime retracted https://adi-journal.org/index.php/ajri/article/view/914#
Best regards.
