Hijacked journal

Imagine you have a diary where you write down your secrets, thoughts, and feelings. Now, imagine someone takes your diary and writes in it pretending to be you. That's kind of like a hijacked journal.

In the academic world, a journal is a book where scientists, researchers, and scholars publish their research findings, ideas, and opinions on different topics. It's a way for them to share their work and knowledge with others.

However, sometimes, some people try to steal these journals and publish their own work under the name of the original author without their permission. This is called a hijacked journal.

This is not only wrong, but it can also be dangerous because it can mislead people and confuse the truth. So, it’s important to protect your work and make sure it's being published in a journal that is trustworthy and reputable.
