Repeated citations

Lili Gee

Hello, I am currently finalizing my thesis and I am having trouble with multiple citations and refs to a single reference. I have cleared my Zotero library of duplicates and edited my citations. The old incorrect citations reappear after I click refresh. What should I do? I read the forums regarding similar issues but I got so confused. Can you please outline for me the steps I need to take to resolve this issue? I am due to submit my work by early next week and this one is keeping me.

Thank you!

It could be that you still have a stray duplicated item in your document itself (not in Zotero).
Delete them, and reinsert, making sure you're using the one that says "My library".

Thanks for the prompt reply. Any other possible remedy? I have done this already and the problem persisted.

Another issue I have now is that I am no longer able to edit my citations or refresh my file. Every time I click "edit/add citation" my Zotero library appears. Nothing happens when I click refresh. Is my file corrupted? What should I do?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello again,

I restarted my computer and the edit citation and refresh buttons now work normally. However, my citation edits were completely overridden and my first problem" repeated citations" recurred. Where did I go wrong? I have re-entered my problematic citations from "my library" at least a third time now.

Please advise. Thanks!
