References duplicated

Hey guys

Just noticed references are repeating and restarting from 1 throughout the document.

I tried resolving this through "Duplicate Items" tab. Unfortunately it is empty.

Scrolled through duplication-related issues yet found nothing of this nature.

  • Duplicates would just show as different numbers; this is something else.

    Can you just (in a copy of the document) delete the entire bibliography and then re-add it?

    Also, the list of figures heading in there is odd -- almost looks like you added a header in the middle of the bibliography?
  • Yes the figures heading is messed up. I have the original format so I can just manually replace that to normal.

    I did that in the copy document and 31 references were re-added. The ones found in the "List of Figures" section of the original document.

    I guess this is it?

    I'll just go with this approach if you confirm as the right one as well.

    Yeah, that sounds right. (edit: though do a quick cross check -- say for references 1, 15, and 30 -- that the numbers correspond to the right item.
  • It's interesting that I have 2 lists of 34 references in the List of Figures section.

    Zotero must know better than me at this point anyway...
  • Alright, if no other remarks before I make the change, thank you for your help brother.
