You can check your library for duplicates at any time.
- Click the Organize tab
- Click Find Duplicates in the secondary navigation bar
- Any reference identified as a duplicate will have a yellow background.
- Check the 'Duplicates' checkbox to check all references with the yellow background to either delete, move or copy them.
When using Find Duplicates, EndNote Basic compares references based on the following fields:
- Author
- Year
- Title
- Reference Type
Even though a source may be a duplicate, the system won't recognize the duplication if there are any differences in these fields (e.g. misspelled name).
