Margaret Douie Dougal

Margaret Douie Dougal ( – 1938, née Robertson, later Chaplin) was a British chemical publication indexer for fifteen years (1885–1909) for the Chemical Society. Dougal contributed to the compilation of volumes i-iii of A Collective Index of the Transactions, Proceedings and Abstracts of the Chemical Society. The then president of the Chemical society, Sir James Dewar, congratulated Dougal for her work as "an example of thoroughness and accuracy to her successors." The collected decennial indices were also prepared by Dougal; at the 1906 Annual Meeting of the Chemical Society it was noted that the Council "had pleasure in expressing the high appreciation of the ceaseless energy displayed by the indexer, Mrs. Margaret Dougal, on the completion of this valuable work."

Under Thomas Edward Thorpe, Dougal conducted inorganic chemistry research of mixed salts of chromium by testing their compositions.
