Usually, I see some posts about the fact of being copied by someone else which bothers me but I don't know how to search and find out the truth regarding my articles. It will be of a help if you can suggest a method.

Another option is to run Google searches for excerpts of your Hubs put inside quotation marks.
If you do find that your content is copied, you can file a 'DMCA Notice' with Google to have the offending content removed form their search results, it normally takes a couple of days. There's a great hub on filing DMCA requests, search for it on the site.
