Remove any rows that are complete duplicates of one another (i.e. the only differences are in the ID number, created_at, and updated_at columns).
For example, the row with id number 248530 is a duplicate of the row with id number 252493, so one of them should be removed. The names, year, pubfile, and academicfile columns are exactly the same.
