No, it’s probably not hijacking. One option is to ask the journal to conduct an investigation of possible duplication.
Can you send me a link to the article?

Comment on Flawed Article in Canadian Library Science Journal by coppenheim
I *AGREED* with your critique of the original article. I also agree with Guido Berens that the chances of the same referees examining your critique would be almost zero (and in any case, you should have asked that different referees be used if the possibility worried you). My criticism was of your gratuitously insulting description of certain (un-named) LIS journals. You clearly do not know me as I am all in favour of robust debate. I think your remarks were gratuitously insulting; you feel they were justified. Let readers decide which approach they prefer.

Comment on Flawed Article in Canadian Library Science Journal by herr doktor bimler
The author blunders and completely misunderstands a tongue-in-cheek blog post by M. Eisen.
Eisen was referring to Wolfe-Simon’s “Arsenic Life” claim when he facetiously claimed to have made that click-baity, unsupportable discovery himself.
FWIW, a guest post at RetractionWatch argued that the original paper was indeed bad enough to be an indictment of the depths to which academic publishing has sunk, and Science should have retracted it:

Comment on European Journals Added to List by Howard Brown
The same group European Scientific Institute also has a service to “certify” the “academic excellence” of conferences and colloquia (http://esiace.com/). Our local conference planning committee has been getting emails from two researchers in Macedonia who want to come to the conference but can only get approval if we are “certified”. They helpfully provided a link to the ESI certification service. So far, we have received the same email (exactly the same wording) twice from two different names. Very fishy.

Comment on Flawed Article in Canadian Library Science Journal by MC
I find comments like this one humorous, strange, and important all at the same time. I still have trouble understanding how promising (even young and inexperienced) researchers would have trouble easily identifying terrible journals in their field. I get that there are language issues and etc, but does someone really actually completely honestly get tricked that often? I think that predatory journals must have a lot more knowing customers now than they do saps. I see Beall’s list as more of a blacklist than a “let’s go consult this list so that we don’t accidentally submit our careful, well-thought out research that we spent thousands of hours and dollars on accidentally to a fake journal”.

Comment on Beall’s List of Predatory Publishers 2016 by Maude
Dear Professor Beal,
Thank you for your list. I have experienced every thing that you describe about predatory publishing this week. Upon solicitation, I submitted something to “Applied Economics and Finance”. (upon further look at website, the publisher is REDFAME). I thought it was a non-academic sounding name, but I still did it, since the “applied economics title of the journal sounded ok. A few days later they accepted the paper and sent me a template, although some of the review asked to do some more work (which I plan to do). REDFAME also asked me for $300. That is when I started questioning since I have published in very reputable journals, including the RESTAT and never had to pay a fee as high. Upon doing investigation on REDFAME, I came across your list. So I am very grateful. I am about to tell them under any circumstance should they dare publish my paper, and CC that email to my lawyers.
Another horrendous experience a few weeks ago. This one even worse is described below:
The so called journal “Journal of Modern Accounting and Auditing, USA.” invited me to submit a paper which I had presented at a conference. I did. Then I received a letter the following day stating that after the paper is accepted I will be charged 60 dollars per page (the paper is 33 pages). I quickly wrote them and said that, this is not academic standard, and I forbid them to touch the paper further. Below is the full exchange. I have removed my name for privacy purpose.

Description
The Journal of Modern Accounting and Auditing is an international, scholarly and peer-reviewed journal (print and online) published monthly by David Publishing Company, USA which was founded in 2001. The journal publishes high quality research papers in finance and economic aspects of accounting and auditing. The scope of the Journal is broad. It includes studies of the functioning of security and exchange markets through to the economics of internal organization and management control. It also includes research papers relating to market microstructure, asset pricing, and corporate financial decision making. A distinctive feature of the Journal is that it recognizes that adverse selection and moral hazard issues are pervasive in financial markets and business organizations, and that accounting (both financial and managerial) plays a part in ameliorating the problems arising from such informational problems. Thus the editors see accounting and finance as being conceptually inter-linked. These linkages are especially apparent in the areas of corporate governance, financial communication, financial performance measurement, and managerial reward and control structures.
Journal of Modern Accounting and Auditing is collected and indexed by the Library of U.S Congress, on whose official website (http://catalog.loc.gov) an on-line inquiry can be triggered with their publication numbers, ISSN1548-6583 respectively, as key words in “Basic Search” column.

Comment on Flawed Article in Canadian Library Science Journal by Ken Lanfear
Most reputable journals tread lightly in editing Discussions, so as not to stifle dissent, but it is not at all unusual to have reviewers check facts and adjudicate technical matters. In this case, for example, I would ask the reviewers to check the facts on plagiarism you assert. (I’m not saying you’re wrong, but legal eagles probably would advise checking!)
Discussions don’t get a free ride in terms of reviews. Too many are promotional, advocate widely discredited science, or make venemous personal attacks. Publishing unreviewed every letter to the editor would not further the interests of good science.

Ken, there's also editor review. I had a <a href="http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.1016/j.acalib.2013.03.005" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">letter to the editor</a> published in a peer-reviewed journal once. It was reviewed by the co-editors, not by the members of the editorial board. It did further the interests of science because it identified flaws in the article it was talking about.
