This is just a matter of increasing your timeout settings both on the server and client side. The default timeouts turned out to be too short for the kind of database processing required for checkref. If you're running refdbc and refdbd on the same computer, you can set both timeouts to zero to avoid this problem altogether (there should be no networking problems on the loopback device, after all). > > Would it be possible to turn off certain checks (such as keywords, user > notes,..) and just compare for example author, year, journal, issue, pages > and title? > I've been pondering this too. I get a serious number of possible keyword duplicates when using Pubmed data, which is well endowed with keywords of all sorts. Maybe we should use the -S switch to select the fields to check, instead of to select the additional fields for the xhtml output. > Also, I do have some duplicates in my database.

You might of course checkref a ris(x) dump of your entire database and filter the (humongous) report e.g. for exact title matches. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka [email protected] (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
