Sometimes you may want to use an output style that does not come standard. One of the fantastic things about Endnote is the way it can change all of this for you when you change to a different output style. For example whether the citations are numbered or given by author and date, whether the reference list uses punctuation for the author initials, whether the article title is in capitals or bolded, whether the journal title is in italics and so on. These are the rules that dictate how your citations and reference list looks. Have a play and you will see how easy it is to get it just right.Įndnote comes preloaded with a lot of output styles. You can use the same text to add any words before or after the citation that will appear within the brackets along with the reference. Now your citation will be changed to look like this (except not purple!).

Type “ for example” in the prefix section. The Edit and Manage Citations pane will open. Then select the citation and, on the Endnote ribbon, go to Citations > Edit and Manage Citation(s). Start by inserting the citation the regular way, without putting it in brackets or writing “for example”. So instead you can format the Endnote citation to have a prefix. If you just insert the citation as you normally would you get this, which has too many brackets. “ There have been many published reviews of this issue (for example Smith, 2001).” “ Smith (2001) found that 6 of 8 dogs treated with….”īut what if you want to write a sentence like this? I have already discussed (in this previous post) how to change (Smith, 2001) to Smith (2001) so that you can put the author’s name in a sentence like this: Sometimes you need the Endnote citation to look different to what comes up automatically. I wait until I see a problem in the document I am writing, because I have far more references in Endnote than I would ever use in one document. I usually don’t worry if names are slightly different as I enter them in Endnote. I also found that spaces do to and these can be tricky if there is a space at the end of the name as you can’t see it. (Well only if they really are the same people!) And I mean exactly the same. To fix this what you need to do is look at your references in Endnote and make the authors all the same. Then Endnote thinks these are different people. So, for example, if one reference is listed as authored by The issue is that Endnote doesn’t know its the same Smith, because you have slightly different entries for the author’s names. Unfortunately in those cases you just have to live with it.īut what about when its the same Smith, but Endnote still adds the initials? You will often find you are citing more than one of the same author’s papers so it can be a common problem. Smith and Jones, 1999, then adding the initials to both is necessary. For example, if somewhere else in your document you have cited L. This is so annoying! But its really easy to fix once you realise why Endnote has done it.Įndnote does this when you have two authors with the same surname, so that readers can tell which Smith you re talking about.
When you are citing literature in Endnote using an author-date system, you will sometimes find that Endnote adds author initials to your citations.
