Comment on Appeals by Arne Henningsen

When I searched for the title of the paper that I reviewed for the JDAE at the journal’s website, I was directed to a published version of the paper that was virtually identically to the version that I reviewed (and suggested to be rejected). However, I did not notice that the search on the JDAE’s website directed me to a paper that was published in the International Journal of Sociology and Anthropology (IJSA, published by the same publisher, Academic Journals). This paper was even published in the IJSA several months before I reviewed it for the JDAE. Hence, it was a severe case of (self?) plagiarism. Unfortunately, I did not notice this plagiarism but fortunately, the editor of the JDAE rejected the paper — probably influenced by my negative referee report. Hence, it seems that the peer review worked satisfactorily for the JDAE. Sorry for my mistake!
