Remove Duplicates Now Available in SciFinder Web
News Flash!
I just discovered you can now "remove duplicates" from you results list when searching SciFinder Web. Because you can search Chem Abs and Medline in a single search the ability to remove duplicates was highly desirable. This was not a function of SciFinder Web until relatively recently.
