<br>
This is quite a bizarre case. I am particularly puzzled by the
contradiction presented here:<br>
<br>
* The journal is putting up the stolen DSS articles for sale:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.irjbas.sciencerecord.com/archive/2011/3%2811%29/archive.html">http://www.irjbas.sciencerecord.com/archive/2011/3%2811%29/archive.html</a>
(which might indicate a financial motive in brazingly stealing
another journal's articles) ...<br>
* ... yet claims to be open access:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.generalpolicies.sciencerecord.com">http://www.generalpolicies.sciencerecord.com</a>.<br>
<br>
Elsevier as the copyright holder is definitely the one responsible
and in legal position to deal with this matter.<br>
<br>
By the way, I was able to track down some contact info for you:<br>
<br>
1. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.whois.net">http://www.whois.net</a> -> search "sciencerecord.com" gives
enom.com as the registrar.<br>
2. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.enom.com/whois/">http://www.enom.com/whois/</a> </font><font face="sans-serif">
-> search "sciencerecord.com":<br>

Going to the enom whois page gives further details (like the web
host is hostgator.com) that could help Elsevier in taking the
articles down (perhaps by invoking DMCA provisions).<br>

Please share back with the list the final resolution, as I'm sure
a lot of us would like to know. You've got to commend The USA
Science Record, though, for having good taste in articles they
choose to steal. Maybe they're taking first steps towards creating
a fake a Decision Support Systems, kind of like the fake NEC that
was discovered a some years back:<br>

<pre>Dear Prashant,
This seems to have happened to other papers as well. If you check the other papers in the issue in which you were published, they are also copied from DSS. Compare the contents of volume 3 issue 11 of this journal:
<a href="http://www.irjbas.sciencerecord.com/archive/2011/3%2811%29/archive.html">http://www.irjbas.sciencerecord.com/archive/2011/3%2811%29/archive.html</a>
with those of volume 51 number 3 of DSS:
<a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/01679236/51/3">http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/01679236/51/3</a>
Other issues of this journal also appear to have been copied from DSS.
Probably Elsevier should be made aware of this situation, so they can take appropriate action.
Best regards,
Remco Dijkman

Subject: [AISWorld] Unauthorized Dual Publication
Dear Colleagues,
I wanted to bring to the attention of the IS community something that happened last week which has us totally baffled.
On March 10, 2012, I received a message from a faculty member in South East European University which informed us about a double publication of the same article. He was absolutely right. We checked and found that the article "Contextual Constraints in Media Choice: Beyond Information Richness" that we (Palvia, P., Pinjani, P., Cannoy, S.D., and Jacks, T) published in Decision Support Systems (Vol. 51, 2011, pp. 657-670) was also published in the International Research Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences (Vol 3, Issue 11, Nov 2011).
