Plagiarism Policy — ACE Journal of Addiction (ACEJA)

ACEJA has a zero-tolerance policy toward plagiarism. All manuscripts are screened using plagiarism detection software before peer review; submissions with a similarity index above 15% may be revised or rejected. This includes self-plagiarism, unattributed reuse of text, data, or images, and simultaneous submission to multiple journals. Plagiarism identified after publication may result in a correction, expression of concern, or retraction, and repeated or serious violations may lead to restrictions on future submissions.
