Özet

The de-duplication method presented in this article was previously described in a brief conference paper [1]. The method consists of three stages.

1. Settings are changed for the displayed fields, and custom filters and export formats are installed.
2. Several databases are imported into a temporary library and exported in an adapted format before being imported for de-duplication.
3. Several subsequent changes in the settings for fields are used to detect duplicates, followed by removal of probable duplicates.

In this article, we describe this method in detail for EndNote [10], a popular reference manager.
