I have some suggestions to improve deduplication in EndNote, based on my work on systematic reviews:
• Use the Term Lists to match short and long journal names. If I compare references based on secondary title in the deduplication process, Int J Pharm Pract and International Journal of Pharmacy Practice should be a match.
• Even when ignoring spacing and punctuation, dashes of different lengths don’t seem to match each other (- with –) or with other symbols indicating a subheading (Heading: subheading with heading – subheading). It would also be helpful if different ways of writing symbols would match, like ® and (R).
