Research reference reconciliation — audit

This is an inventory of bibliographic entries found in the website ZIP, not a verification of DOI metadata or a claim that all entries are unique studies. Do not publish a 443-study claim on the basis of these figures.

275 master bibliography entries; 67 distinct by exact normalised text; 86 additional entries in clinical evidence library lists, of which 71 do not match master text exactly. 1 of those have a possible similar master record requiring manual review.

Different formatting, author abbreviations, titles, and DOI links may hide duplicates. The same study cited across pages counts once. Books, software, and guidelines are not all primary research articles. Records have not been externally validated.
