What is a duplicate reference? Will I be charged for it?
While Edifix is restructuring your references, it scans your reference list for references that appear to be duplicates. If the references are identical or almost identical, Edifix will insert a warning to alert the editor. This warning may look something like this:
13. Baron RM, Kenny DA. The moderator-mediator variable distinction in social psychological research: Conceptual, strategic, and statistical considerations. J Pers Soc Psychol. 1986;51:1173-1182.
Reference 13 "Baron, Kenny, 1986" is a duplicate. Please compare it to reference 1.
Flagged duplicate references will not be deducted from your reference allowance.
