I can attest to this. I myself am victim of this. My undergraduate thesis was plagiarized by two other papers. Code was 80% the same, they just added some trivial things. No citing of my work at all.
Look at my other comment for more explanation - if you are working under less known advisor, or at less known university, there is a high chance that this will happen if your work is good.

- analog31 5y agoThis kind of thing is best done after the thesis is in the bag. A student is racing against the clock. Grad study has many kinds of hard failures. At the most extreme, your advisor could up and die. The focus has to be on finishing. That's how you get out.
- nicec2 5y agoMatter of fact, I did, even with help of my advisor. The journal did not take any action (it is Q1 open access journal), since they come up with all kinds of mental gymnastics why it is not copied (which boiled down it is NOT 100% the same). That was for the first occurrence. For the 2nd one, we just did not bother because it hurts my advisor's reputation as well. It is not in the interest of journal to admit the mistake once they made it -- they will fight you about it and try to keep their reputation/image up.
