In a recent article [Y. Ahmadizadeh, C. Javaherian, and B. Shokri, Phys. Plasmas 16, 063501 (2009)], Shokri and co-workers studied the propagation of a plasma wave in the double-walled carbon nanotubes. Here we show that their paper is largely a copy of our work [A. Moradi and H. Khosravi, Phys. Lett. A 371, 1 (2007)] and also that no reference was made to our paper.
