Duplicate publications can occur for a few different reasons. If a publication was added as a submission, and then automatically claimed when it is published you may see a duplicate. You may also get a duplicate record if the publications are the same but have slightly different information captured.

4.  Select the items that you would like to merge

5. Click Join

6. Confirm the merge by clicking ok

To separate entries that you have merged

2. Find the publication that needs to be split

3. Click on Sources

4. Click on Split Record

Outcome:

Users should be able to merge duplicate publications in myElements.
