Just found out recently one of my papers was copied entirely with the
exception of the authors and the title (which was changed to something
else)
My original paper is
"Challenges in high accuracy of malware detection"
which was published years ago: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6287147
the authors used this as their title:
"Automatic Extraction or Detection for Malware Attacks as String Signature"
and these authors are:
P.Nikhila1, H. Venkateswara Reddy M.Tech (S.E), VCE, Hyderabad, India, Associate Professor in CSE, VCE, Hyderabad, India,

Just found out recently one of my papers was copied entirely with the exception of the authors and the title (which was changed to something else) --------------------------------------------------------------------- One accepted journal indexed in your page xxxx blatantly copying my writings as published last year (2012) here http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6287147 a simple lookup at the abstract already tells all. I hope you can take immediate and stern action towards the authors including paper retraction and blacklisting. This plagiarism already tarnished your journal's reputation and if you are unable to do so I will publish the plagiarism in my personal blog. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------ this was their reply: Dear Sir, We are sorry for your inconvenience. This paper will remove within 8 hrs. Our Editor Board will sure take necessary action against author. -- *With Warm Regards* *Editorial Board* *XXX Journals* p/s: the paper was never removed even after 8 hours as promised. also, i'm not 100% honest about the journal's reputation since I don't think they ever did an editorial work :-\
-----------------------------------------------------
UPDATE on 13 NOV 2013 : The journal has retracted the paper. I however decided to retain the author's name here as if you ever come across their papers again, please check whether they already copied someone else' papers.

Those authors do that to get promoted @ Universities and get the raise and more FAME!!!
As an assistant professor working at a University, I'm very sad to hear this, and it's a shame on the educational society which is going from worse to worst!!!
