Yes and no. They were reported and basically blacklisted from the journal with a retraction. However, there are thousands of journals just as disreputable as the one they published in, and the level of egregiousness here makes me thing that plagiarism isn't such a big deal where they are from, so it's unclear that this will ruin their careers.
- thick18cm 10y agowhat is disreputable about the journal they were published in?
- cmontella 10y agoThe fact that this got published when the work was already searchable verbatim on the internet tells me that the review process was virtually nonexistent. Searching prior work is pretty much the first thing I do as a reviewer.
