    Maybe linkedin itself should implement some kind of fuzzy match where it can identify blatant plagiarism

    The ArXiv adds notes to some papers, such as (picking the first example I saw in a quick search) 1709.03889

    Comments: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1301.4701
    Usually this is not untoward, because authors tend to publish several papers on the same topic, with incremental changes. So naturally the introductions of the successor papers contain a fair bit of copy and paste from the previous incarnations.

    But the damning indictment, nearly always seen against papers with Chinese looking author names (*), is:

    Comments: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1301.9999 by other authors
    (*) No doubt i'll be accused of racism, but I spend several hours week checking ArXiv listings and reading papers, and that has always been my experience.

    Make sure you tell them exactly what to endorse you for, and get a few of them to comment about your CV.

    Meanwhile let us stalk them...
