The Harvard at Newcastle style was updated on the University network and RAS on 23rd April 2012. If you were already using it, you may notice some minor changes such as:

et al now in italics: et al

spacing in bibliography – references no longer have automatic spacing but you can format your bibliography to insert spaces by clicking on the “expand” arrow in the bottom right of the Bibliography box, selecting the layout tab and choosing “space after” to be one.

Indented references: references are no longer indented, again you can add an indent using the same technique described above.

Author names in citations may display differently.Please contact us if this applies to you.

If you prefer to use the older version of the style to complete your work, you can download it from the Guide

EndNote Upgrade on RAS
———————–
EndNote X5 has now been installed on RAS. Users of EndNote X4 should notice only minor differences.

Details of the changes in EndNote X5 can be found on the EndNote web site:

http://www.endnote.com/enx5info.asp

ISS has also upgraded to Office 2010 on RAS. This has been tested with EndNote X5 and no problems were found.

However, if you do have any problems using EndNote X5 please contact lib-endnotehelp@ncl.ac.uk

Known issue with conference papers in IEEE Xplore

Please note that there is a known issue with exporting conference papers from IEEE Xplore. Conference papers are imported into EndNote as conference proceedings, meaning that they display incorrectly when transferred to Word documents. To avoid this, please change any incorrectly labelled conference proceedings to conference papers within your EndNote library, before using in Word. You can do this by double clicking on the reference within EndNote and changing the drop-down menu next to Reference Type to ‘conference paper’.

Please bear with us as we look into this with IEEE Xplore and other colleagues and we will notify you of any changes here.
