Clear Faculty Scholarly Duplicates

When importing scholarly works data from third parties, the Clear Faculty Duplicates screen displays a list of all the duplicate scholarly works data based on the selected citation format, including the match percentage and the imported/existing activity that the system has found to be a duplicate. This helps institutions prevent duplicate data from being imported into Faculty Activity Reporting (FAR, Faculty180). Depending on the institution's policies, the Dashboard To Do section will display a message for faculty if there is duplicate data to be addressed.

 

Clear Faculty Scholarly Duplicates

How it works

  • All fields (such as type, dateinfo, journal, location, number, info, pages, publisher, title, volume, yearinfo, and author) have equal weight during the comparison.
  • If all of the fields match 100% then a duplicate is assumed and automatically flagged as such.
  • If the total % match of all fields is > 87.5% and < 100% then it is flagged as a possible duplicate.
  • If the total % match is < 87.5% then it is flagged as a new item.
  • The comparison is case sensitive.
  • Additional white space is not removed.
  • If the matched record and imported record has empty values for one of the fields being compared, then that field is ignored in the calculations.
