在您建立Zotero文献库时,您可能会引入一些重复的条目.如,您可能在同一个网页保存相同的条目两次,或导入您的文献库中已有的条目.此等情况下,Zotero可以为您识别可能存在的重复条目并将它们合并.

Clicking on the “Duplicate Items” collection in your library or right-clicking the library in the left column and selecting “Show Duplicates” will show the items Zotero thinks are duplicates in the center column.

Zotero currently uses the title, DOI, and ISBN fields to determine duplicates. The algorithm will be improved in the future to incorporate other fields.

In the “Duplicate Items” collection, select an item in the center column. Zotero will automatically co-select the other items that it thinks are duplicates. Click the “Merge n Items” button in the right column to merge the items.

You can also select a group of two or more items of the same item type anywhere in your Zotero library, right-click, and select “Merge Items…” from the context menu.

Merges are automatically recognized by the word processor plugins and don't affect your automatically generated citations and bibliographies.
