The Automated Systematic Search Deduplicator (ASySD): a rapid, open-source, interoperable tool to remove duplicate citations in biomedical systematic reviews

Catalog evidence and recorded chart appearances. Inclusion is not an endorsement.

Source snapshot imported 2026-10-20. This is not a live feed. Source and contributions.

Evidence and limits

Finding: The reviewed abstract and selected methods describe metadata matching and comparison with citation-manager deduplication.

Impact: Watch duplicate-screening burden and false merges under the recorded review topic (see source) and the recorded review topic (see source).

Boundary: Consensus labels incorporate discrepancies identified by the tested tools; biomedical citation matching does not establish GitHub fork equivalence. Next: evaluate ambiguous matches with independently labeled source/version pairs. Ingested screened candidate; selected methods read, not full-text appraised or replicated

Flags: Biomedical metadata; consensus gold standard; current code differs from evaluated release; R-314 is the same family

Record State: Candidate only: not accepted into the reviewed catalog

What was reviewed: Previously screened candidate; review remains limited
