Collaborative articles are a new way to tap into the collective knowledge of the LinkedIn community so you can learn from experts across professional topics, ranging from the common “How do I get a promotion?” to the more specific “How do I advertise to Generation Z?”
Collaborative articles are knowledge topics published by LinkedIn with insights and perspectives added by the LinkedIn community. These articles begin as AI-powered conversation starters, developed with our editorial team, but they aren’t complete without insights from our members. A select group of experts have been invited to contribute their own ideas, examples and experiences within the articles.

LinkedIn identifies members who are likely to be experts in a certain topic based on their work experience, skills proficiency, and prior engagement on the platform. They must also meet high trust and quality standards by adhering to LinkedIn’s User Agreement and Professional Community Policies, and their contributions must remain relevant, original, and additive. To be considered, you can engage with the articles by liking or reacting to them.
If you have been invited to contribute, you can click Add your perspective to add your contribution to a section in the article. You can earn a Community Top Voice badge (e.g., “Top Engineering Voice”) if members find you to be one of the most liked or reacted to contributors with insightful content for collaborative articles for a particular skill.

It provides a concise summary of the key points discussed in the article. This section is only visible when there are two or more featured contributions. The contributors of the featured contributions used to generate the summary will be included at the bottom of the section.
