Covidence removes duplicate records automatically. The Covidence support pages explain the process in detail.
Please note: It has been reported that exporting records from Ovid databases in RIS format results in better removal of duplicates than exporting records from Ovid databases in EndNote format.
Selection of studies supporting the use of Covidence for the task of removing duplicates:
