Deduplicate News Search Results in LexisNexis Academic

Sometimes the same news story is repeated, with little or no difference, in multiple newspapers or the news aggregator sources. The Deduplicate feature allows you to remove these duplicates from your result set.

How It Works

When you run an Easy/News search or use one of the special News search forms available on the navigation menu, your results will include the deduplication tool, pictured below. By default, deduplication is set to "off" so that all search results will be displayed. Changing this setting will remove duplicate stories from your result set.

Notice that in the first image, item 13 and 14 are duplicate results. However, in the second image, the list has been deduplicated. You can also see that you have the option to view the duplicate articles.
