Can I check for duplicate references in EndNote 21?
Answer
If you have imported a large number of references, it is possible that you will find duplicates. These can be removed using the de-duplication tool in EndNote 21.
- Open the group you would like to check, or select ‘All references’ to check your full library.
- Select ‘Library’ from the menu, and click ‘Find Duplicates’.
- You will then be able to compare references to decide which to keep. When you choose to keep a reference, the other will be sent to ‘Trash’.
- You can also choose to ‘Skip’ or ‘Cancel’, which ill place your references in a temporary ‘Duplicate References’ group (this group is deleted when you close your Library).
