Removing Duplicate References
Select Tools from the top menu and choose Find Duplicates.
The Find Duplicate References window will appear.
You can select to search for duplicate references in the folder you are currently viewing or search for duplicate references across all of your references. Next, select one of the following criterias for matching from the drop-down menu: Exact Match, Close Match, or "Legacy" Close Match. More information about each criteria will display once you have selected. Once you're finished, click Find Duplicates.
If any duplicates are found, they will be highlighted and pre-selected to make them easy to delete.
Note:
- Removing duplicates is available for shared projects, but not shared folders.
- RefWorks can compare and find duplicates for up to 2,000 references.
