    Abstract: A system, computer-implemented method and computer-readable medium for managing duplicate articles are provided. A first and a second potentially duplicate article of a magazine edition are accessed, the first article associated with a first title and a first URL and the second article associated with a second title and a second URL. The titles are normalized. The first normalized title is compared to the second normalized title and the first URL is compared to the second URL to determine whether the first article and the second article are duplicates. It is determined that the first article and the second article are duplicates when the first normalized title is considered similar to the second normalized title and the first URL is considered similar to the second URL. Otherwise, it is determined that the first article and the second article are not duplicates.
