Hi @dschaehi, Thanks for your attention on this plugin! I am presently utilizing Zotero's default duplicate detection method, but I am very happy to implement the new function. Would you be able to provide me with examples of different items sharing the same title/author? Thanks! Best regards, |
Hi @ChenglongMa, Thanks for your reply! Example 1:
Example 2:
Example 3:
Example 4:
Note: I also attached a zipped Zotero RDF file for your convenience. Thanks! Best, |
Hi @dschaehi, Thank you so much for the detailed examples. I'll check the content of these items and implement the new features. I'll let you know once I finish. Cheers, |
Hi @dschaehi, I have investigated the built-in duplication detection method in Zotero.
That's why the items in the first example are labeled as duplicates (their titles are the same, and they share the same author: Bengio, Y). As discussed in Zotero Forums (here and here), the developers seem to be interested but are delaying the development and maintenance of the relevant features. Then, my plan is:
Any thoughts? |
Hi @ChenglongMa, Thanks for putting so much effort into it! Best, |
Hi @dschaehi, Thanks for your kind words. Could you please explain more about the "custom search criteria"? How does it differ from existing features? And how does it relate to duplicate detection functionality? Thanks! |
Hi @ChenglongMa, Sure. What I mean is to allow the user to create search criteria for finding duplicates like "all author names must match", "at least one author name must match", "DOIs must match", because different users have different preferences for finding duplicates. I thought about using a GUI similar to "saved search" in Zotero where you can specify your search criteria for creating a saved search collection (this does not allow you find duplicates though). An alternative way is to allow the users to use JavaScript snippets similar to Better BibTeX (see https://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/exporting/scripting/index.html); by giving few examples of snippets for finding duplicates, people would be able to build their own search criteria. Does this answer your questions? Cheers, |
Hi @dschaehi, That's brilliant! I will try to add these features to this plugin. Thank you so much! Best, |
Thanks for the new version of the plugin, @ChenglongMa! |
Oh, thanks for your testing, @dschaehi! I'll check and fix the bug soon. Thanks! Best regards, |
Hi @dschaehi, I tested the function as you suggested. I thought you said you couldn't find the right button in this place: You can mark them as non-duplicates by the
Of course, you can also manually select two items and operate them in the context menu: In the next version, I will add this button to place of the first screenshot. Thanks! Best, |
Ah, I see. I didn't know that I could use the right mouse click. |
Thank you @dschaehi, I still think your idea of custom duplicate search and js scripting is amazing. I'll try to implement it. Thanks! Best regards, |
Thanks for the nice pluigin, @ChenglongMa!
In my case, I sometimes have items with the same title but in different types. For example, I have a paper with an accompanying blog post written by the same author. In this case, I'd like to keep both items but don't want them to be identified as duplicate. Is there a way to exclude such items from the Zotero collection "Duplicate Items"?
