I've found the "travelling library" an irritation rather than a help -
the addition of multiple citations at the end of a paper is just an
indication that the bibliography has been generated without the right
database open/linked to the manuscript. But then we don't transfer
manuscripts between sites with different databases. I suppose it might
be useful as a temporary indication of which reference should be cited?
If you remove duplicates when you edit the manuscript won't you then
remove the later citations?
How often does one cite each reference once only? If they are going to
provide the "travelling library, there should be some mechanism to
recognise duplicates and avoid repeating them, with the "a" "b" etc.
after the year.
