ACM research integrity check

ACM has introduced a new state-of-the-art research integrity system to check accepted papers for any integrity problems before publication in the conference proceedings. All accepted papers will be checked for the following:

• AI-generated text (to identify the use of generative AI tools in a paper)
• Over-citation (checks for disproportionate citation of individual authors)
• Tortured phrases (checks for substitution of technical terms to avoid plagiarism detection: e.g. “fluffy reasoning” for “fuzzy logic”)
• Similarity score (plagiarism check)
• Retracted papers in references (checks for this signal of possible papermill activity)

These checks are mandatory for all conferences published in the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series.
