This is strange in multiple ways. It seems quite obvious that the fake title in the PDF metadata originated from ACM Word templates. However, the template at Deprecated ACM Microsoft Word Template Deprecated ACM Microsoft Word Template https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/deprecated-word-template uses yet another title: “Magnetic Normal Modes of Bi-Component Permalloy Structures” mentions If you search for this term, you get another group of papers with wrong metadata: google.com/search?q=“Magnetic+Normal+Modes+of+Bi-Component+Permalloy+Structures” mentions This title is a little bit closer to the title of the original paper where author names and content have been lifted from apparently: “Magnetic normal modes of bicomponent permalloy/cobalt structures in the parallel and antiparallel ground state” journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/1… mentions So, someone who created or revised the (now deprecated) ACM Word templates found it perfectly reasonable to lift content and even author names from another non-ACM paper. Author names have been copied, too, but changed slightly (e.g., Gianluca Gubbiotti → Gorge Gubbiotti). mentions There does not appear to be a real paper titled “Spin-wave dynamics in a hexagonal 2-D magnonic crystal” (at least no publication with this or a similar name is listed on iom.cnr.it/publications). mentions btw: @ShriramKMurthi mentioned the metadata issue last year, too. And at least one paper in the @ACMDL even starts with “Two-dimensional arrays of bi-component structures”: dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?d… :) mentions I find it appalling that some person who created the ACM template thought it would be okay to partially plagiarize another paper and butcher the authors' names in the process. And I'm very surprised that Sheridan didn't catch the problems with the metadata. mentions ⬆️ cc @ignacioavellino @JRicoWilliamson mentions Oh, a few more people wondered about the spin-waves, too:
