Q. How do I remove duplicates in EndNote?

Duplicates can cause errors in your EndNote bibliography. Fortunately, EndNote has a tool to help you remove duplicates.

1. Click on All References
2. Go to the Library menu
3. Select Find Duplicates
4. You have two options:
   1. The display automatically highlights any differences it has detected between the references.  If you select Keep this record the other record will be sent to Trash. If you want to keep both records, click on Skip to go to the next duplicate.
   2. Select Cancel and references are held in a temporary Duplicate References group.
      • Duplicate references are highlighted. To delete all the automatically detected duplicates, click on one of the highlighted references, hold down the left mouse button and drag across to the Trash folder.  Alternatively you can right-click on any highlighted reference and select Move references to trash. All of the highlighted references will be transferred to the Trash folder.
