Systematic Reviews

Why do I need to deduplicate and what does that mean?

Some databases index the same journals. This means that when the search strategy is translated, there may be multiple copies of the same reference. Before the screening process duplicate references should be removed with a citation manager such as EndNote, Zotero, Mendeley, etc.

The TMC Library provides support services for EndNote, but the TMC Library does not have an institutional license for EndNote. 

EndNote Basics

EndNote is a reference management tool which helps you to save and manage bibliographic references. Neither the SPH nor the TMC Library can provide access to EndNote, however, we recognize that a number of our users have an EndNote account and do provide support services. You can schedule a consultation to learn how to utilize EndNote with the link here. In order for EndNote to work properly with TMC Library Resources, users must include ezproxyhost.library.tmc.edu as the OpenID.
