# Zoplicate: Zotero Deduplication Guide ## Overview Zoplicate is a Zotero plugin that detects and manages duplicate items in your library. It goes beyond Zotero's built-in duplicate detection by offering configurable matching criteria, batch merge operations, automatic deduplication on import, and smart metadata merging that keeps the best version of each field. Essential for researchers who import from multiple databases. ## Installation ```bash # Download .xpi from GitHub releases # Zotero 7: Tools → Add-ons → Install Add-on From File ``` ## Features ```markdown ### Duplicate Detection - **DOI matching** — Most reliable, catches exact duplicates - **Title similarity** — Fuzzy matching for slight variations - **ISBN matching** — For books and proceedings - **Combined scoring** — Weighted match across multiple fields ### Smart Merge - Keep the most complete metadata from each duplicate - Preserve all tags from both items - Merge notes and annotations - Consolidate attachments (keep all unique PDFs) - Maintain collection memberships from both ### Automatic Mode - Detect duplicates on import - Configurable auto-merge threshold - Notification before auto-merge (optional) ``` ## Config

Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills, a repository with 3,244 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
