Endnote Web: Removing Duplicates

Removing Duplicates from All Records

Endnote allows you to remove duplicates from All References but not from individual groups. To remove from All References follow the steps below. To remove from a group see box on the right.

  • Select Organize > Find Duplicates.
  • A new window will appear displaying duplicate records. Select the reference you want to keep. The other record will be moved to Trash.
  • References moved to Trash will remain available until you delete the contents of your Trash folder or you close EndNote.

Removing Duplicates from Groups

To remove duplicates from individual groups you can use a tool like the de-duplicator from SR Accelerator

  • First export your references in .ris format from Endnote.

  • Under File select Import References and add your saved .ris file from Endnote

  • The Deduplicator tool then sorts the references into four groups, based on increasing likelihood of duplication, for you to make final decisions.
