Thank you!

Hi! And what did you do in that case of stealing your whole paper? Did you claimed your authorship back and how?

[@mrillig]

Hi, I didn't do anything, actually. My paper was already published, and I chose to ignore this.

Notes: 1. share in your trust closed friends or groups; 2. Pre-print it before the peer-reviewed published paper
