Client Overview

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a globally recognized organization that advances engineering knowledge and fosters collaboration across the field of mechanical engineering. As a key player in the publication of academic and technical papers, ASME needed a system to handle paper submissions, ensure the validity of submissions, and comply with regulatory standards.

Challenge

ASME receives thousands of paper submissions annually, and manually processing these submissions, conducting plagiarism checks, and ensuring compliance with international regulations was becoming increasingly complex. They required a system that could automate CrossCheck plagiarism screening using AI, handle a heavy workflow from submission to review, acceptance, and scoring, integrate OFAC country checks for compliance, and enable authors and reviewers to perform electronic signatures on all documents.

Key Success Point:

The integration of AI-driven plagiarism checks through CrossCheck, combined with an automated submission workflow, allowed ASME to significantly reduce the time spent on manual validation. This provided a seamless experience for both authors and reviewers while maintaining the integrity of the academic review process.

Solutions

BitBang partnered with ASME to develop an all-encompassing portal that streamlined their entire submission and review process. The system included:

  • AI-driven CrossCheck Plagiarism Validation: Automated the plagiarism screening process to ensure that every submitted paper was original and met academic integrity standards.
  • Paper Submission and Workflow Management: A comprehensive portal where authors could submit papers and track the review process. Reviewers could easily evaluate submissions, provide feedback, and electronically sign documents.
  • OFAC Country Checks: Integrated compliance checks to ensure that submissions met international regulations.
  • Reviewer and Author Tools: Provided tools for assigning scores, reviewing papers, and facilitating award nominations for top submissions.
