Research Support- Manage References with Endnote X9

Remove Duplicates

The Find Duplicates window highlights fields that contain non-matching text so you can quickly compare the records and remove duplicate references from your Library. This feature should ideally be used immediately after exporting new references to your Library, to avoid unnecessary complications when you use the Cite While You Write functions in Word.

1. Select References > Find Duplicates

2. The Find Duplicates window will appear (see below).

3. Compare each set of duplicate references.

4. Select Keep This Record to identify the reference you wish to keep or select Skip to keep both references in your Library.

5. On completion of finding duplicates, go to the Trash under My Library in the left pane.

6. Right click to empty trash and remove the duplicate references from your Library.
