<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">While these entries are duplicates in the purest sense (same compound, same structure,<br>
same publication), the general policy of the COD is to not remove entries once a COD ID<br>
has been assigned (they might have been referenced in publications, etc.). Instead of that,<br>
we mark duplicate structures using the '_cod_duplicate_entry' data name. For example, in<br>
this case entry 9016170 contains a line "_cod_duplicate_entry 1010272" which<br>
indicates that entry 9016170 should be excluded from calculations in favour of entry 101027.<o:p></o:p></p>
