ASME Plagiarism Screening (iThenticate)

ASME supports and promotes ethics in publishing. To this end, ASME is committed to deterring and actively addressing plagiarism and self-plagiarism. ASME screens all conference and journal paper submissions using Crossref’s Similarity Check Powered by iThenticate software to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts. ASME is a member of Crossref.

Similarity Check Powered by iThenticate, is a multi-publisher initiative to screen published and submitted content for originality.
