-AutoLit provides automatic de-duplication, meaning that whenever you complete multiple searches (or import multiple RIS/nBIB files), an algorithm compares the DOI, PMID, PMCID, title, and abstract, and keeps only one version of any studies that match across these fields with a high enough certainty. Howeverif you want to ensure that all de-duplicated records are in fact duplicates, this page enables manual review of all de-duplication decisions.+Databases are overlapped in the sets of records they contain. When you run similar search strategies against multiple databases for your review, you are likely to identify the same study multiple times. Additionally, a single database itself will often contain duplicates of the same record! Screening duplicate records out of your review could take quite a while!
