🚨 Announcement 🚨

I’ve received numerous reports of people blatantly copying my content on LinkedIn just to get a few likes.

Let me be very clear: I put a great deal of time and effort into reviewing papers and creating original, meaningful content. It’s disappointing to see professionals (some of whom are even members of this group or my connections) resorting to plagiarism instead of contributing their own ideas.

👉 Starting today, I’ll be removing these connections from LinkedIn and banning such individuals from this group.

📢 I also encourage everyone to report these cases whenever you come across them. Every single report helps stop this bad habit and keeps our community fair, respectful, and authentic.
