What fields does duplication detection use?

The main website says: "Zotero currently uses the title, DOI, and ISBN fields to determine duplicates. The algorithm will be improved in the future to incorporate other fields." Is this still true? Have any changes been made?

If no changes have been made, is there an add-on that can expand the fields of comparison to include other fields, such as abstract?

The reason this is relevant is I'm doing a systematic review with searches of multiple archives covering many years. I have to filter out A LOT of duplicates across the databases. While most of my citations have some combination of title, DOI, and ISBN, not all do (a small minority). Additionally, archives sometimes differ in their ISBNs for the same citation, sometimes have different formats for titles (punctuation and inclusion/exclusion of subtitles), and reprints usually have different ISBNs than the original article.

I can devise other methods of catching these, but a single process in Zotero might make my life a little easier.

Thoughts/suggestions also welcome.

Thanks!
