Deduplicating Works Cited & Bibliographies

When compiling citations from reference managers like Zotero, Mendeley, or Google Scholar across multiple chapters, identical book entries frequently sneak into your bibliography. TextUtils cleans duplicate entries in milliseconds while preserving formatting.

Alphabetizing Research References

APA and MLA style guidelines require bibliographies to be strictly arranged alphabetically by author surname. Use the Sort: Alphabetical (A → Z) option to deduplicate and alphabetize simultaneously.
