188BET靠谱吗Duplicate Citations in Document - Not Duplicate in Zotero

kmalvis
I realized my document had duplicate citations, for example (Brown, 2017a) and (Brown, 2017b) although it was the same article.
Steps I have taken:
188BET靠谱吗1) I checked for duplicates in Zotero, merged them, and emptied the trash.
188BET靠谱吗2) Closed Zotero and Word.
3) Refreshed multiple times
3) Disabled/re-enabled Word Plug-in.Again, closing and re-opening both applications.
4) Restarted my computer.

This is a large document (250+ pages) I cannot manually go through and fix all of them.

    Hi.Thank you, I read this post before posting my own but I made sure to merge instead of delete, and the second option does not apply here as no one else has opened this document and they are not in duplicate libraries.And either way, I'm still unsure how to fix the issue.

    As far as I know, these are the only ways this can happen.
    As I say there:
    You can look at the word field codes (and specifically the item URI) for clues as to which of the two scenarios this is. 188BET靠谱吗//www.brodersterzo.com/support/kb/word_field_codes
    (you can also paste that info here & we might be able to at least venture a better guess)

    Unfortunately, it will not let me copy paste the toggle field.it only copies the citation name (any suggestions?).I will say that if I go through each one and manually update it, the A/B goes away, as does the occasional format of putting the author's initial first (which I don't want).It seems to be an issue when I "refresh" - it reverts back.
  • adamsmith
    Don't include opening and closing bold { } in your selection -- just copy the internal part (or even just the big starting with "uris": up to the closing ])

    sorry meant to say one example.
  • adamsmith
    Cockerham 2013a was inserted from a library that had never been synced (hence the 'local' in the uri).That might have been on a different computer, or you deleted the item before syncing the local library.If you have a lot of these, export/import would also be a plausible scenario.I can't tell you exactly how that happened, obviously, but it definitely did.

    There's currently no alternative to replacing the duplicate citations individually, sorry.

    The only reason they don't how up this way when you edit them is that you have automatic updating of citations turned off and that means citations are displayed without respect to any other citations, i.e.no disambiguation etc.)
  • kmalvis
    Okay thanks for the explanation.I'm still confused on how to fix this though.If I want to generate a bibliography, the same issue is going to happen.
  • adamsmith
    As I say, no alternative to fixing this individually for each citation that I'm aware of.So you'd replace (remove and re-insert or edit citation, delete the citation in the dialog and reselect) every instance of the 2013a version, making sure you insert from "My Library" and not from "Cited" (if you're using the red quick format insert citation!the classic dialog will insert from My Library automatically).

    Has this been updated yet?I think I have the same issue for my references in my dissertation...
