Thank you Vicente for you prompt professional assistance in helping me avoid hundreds of duplications in the library. I am extremely pleased with the time it saved me, and the high degree of accuracy achieved.

The Paperpile app worked most efficiently and seamlessly. I have successfully completed and submitted my article with more than 1200 citations. I am happy to report today (8/9/21) that using only author name (and title) pulls up the correction information and avoided duplications in the library. However, none of them appeared under “items from your library”, only as items found on the web if I input a URL instead of author’s name when using the app for adding citations. Many of the references I am citing in the manuscript have previously been saved to my Paperpile library. Therefore, everytime I input the same URL address for a study that is cited again, Paperpile showed only one selection in the populated results and not the various options you described, and also created a duplication in the library. I think the reason I am getting duplications is because I am pasting a URL address for a study, instead of an author’s name as shown in the sample. I am logged in to only one google account, so there should be no conflicts in that area.

Otherwise, a paper with 2000 citations will require a lot of manual work to remove duplications. However, that defeats the purpose of using Paperpile, which is to facilitate duplication in numbering. It appears the only workaround is to copy the existing Papepile reference link to use whenever a paper is cited a second/third time, instead of generating a new link. Meaning, each duplicated reference is tied to a specific copy of the same paper in the Paperpile library. I have tested this to be true, as restoring the trashed paper restored the link to a specific reference of the same paper.

Deleting the duplicates will cause an error in the citation, for the link will be broken. While most users are on the primary ReadCube Papers Browser Extension. For example, if XYZ2021 is cited 10 times, there will be 10 copies of this study in the paperpile library, and in the Google Drive Paperpile folder.

Regarding duplications, I find that every time a paper is cited using paperpile, a copy is created in the library, causing multiple duplicates.
