Plagiarism

‘’Plagiarism’’, as defined by the Journal of the Algerian Chemical Society, entails the act of copying someone else's text or ideas and presenting this copied material as one's own work. To prevent accusations of plagiarism, it is imperative to both separate and clearly identify any copied text within your work, attributing credit to the source through proper citation. Plagiarism is considered a fraudulent act, with potentially severe consequences such as job loss, damage to reputation, and the assignment of reduced or failing grades in academic courses. The Journal of the Algerian Chemical Society vehemently opposes any form of unethical copying or plagiarism. In the context of manuscript submissions, plagiarism is deemed to have occurred when significant portions of the manuscript have been duplicated from previously published sources. The journal maintains a strict stance against such unethical practices to ensure the integrity and originality of the research it publishes.

The Journal of the Algerian Chemical Society has a stringent plagiarism policy to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity and ethical publishing. The key aspects of the plagiarism policy include:
