If you use Endnote on RAS, you’ll notice that it has been upgraded to include even more styles – 3287 instead of 2314. In the process our special amended styles have been overwritten, but they will be back very soon. You can download Harvard at Newcastle from our web pages if you need to in the meantime. The network version of Endnote will also be upgraded to include the new styles very soon.
In order to change a numbered style to use superscript numbers you must first follow the instructions for ‘style editing and saving’ from
http://www.ncl.ac.uk/library/endnote_tips_style.php
Once you have saved the style you wish to edit onto your file space, you should select:
>Edit
>Output styles
>Edit (style name of your choice)
Under the citations heading select
>templates
Highlight ‘Bibliography number’ and hold down the Ctrl and shift keys and select +, this will superscript the bibliography number in in-text citations when using this style. You can also delete any brackets which appear around the bibliography number from here too.
EndNote uses Term Lists for author/editor names, journal titles and keywords. Term Lists are created automatically as you enter new terms into these fields in an EndNote library. One benefit of this is that the Term Lists help with data entry. If you begin to enter a name, journal or keyword that you have previously used in that library, EndNote will complete the term for you to speed up data entry. However EndNote does also have files of term lists which can be attached to your library. These can be of use when you want to change your bibliography so that it shows an abbreviated form of a journal title rather than the full title.
In order to do this, go to >Tools >Open Term List >Journals Term List
It is good practice to delete anything already in the Journals Term List at the outset, otherwise your bibliography will remain unchanged. Do this first.
Now click on the Lists tab.
With Journals highlighted, click on Import List.
From C:/Program Files/Endnote X/Terms Lists select whichever file suits your subject, e.g. medical.txt, and click on Open.
This will import several thousand terms into your terms list.
Go back to the Terms tab and you will see these in there.
If you highlight a term and click on edit, you will see that as well as the full title, you have two abbreviated versions of the title, one with punctuation, one without. You can now edit your EndNote style to use one of these abbreviations. To do this click on Edit, Output Styles, if using EndNote on campus the style you want to edit must be saved in your h: drive and your EndNote preferences must be changed. (See http://www.ncl.ac.uk/library/endnote_tips_style.php). Open Style Manager and select the style you wish to edit. Click on Journal Names and select the abbreviation you wish to use. Close and save changes, now apply this style to your word document and your journal titles should be replaced with abbreviations.
If this does not happen it is likely to be because:
a) you didn’t delete what was in the journals term list at the outset, or
b) the particular titles for which it has not worked do not appear in the journals term list, where that is the case you can add them manually and re-format the bibliography, this will now pick up the abbreviated version of the title.
Although Endnote comes with a large selection of styles, we have amended the Harvard version to suit our needs and called it “Harvard at Newcastle”. There is no official standard version of the Harvard style, therefore we have used the “Cite them right: referencing made easy” by Richard Pears and Graham Shields as the criteria for the layout of the citation and the bibliography. This is generally accepted as suitable for UK universities who follow Harvard.
This style is available in EndNote X as part of the styles folder. If you are using an older version of EndNote you will need to download the latest version of Harvard at Newcastle from http://www.ncl.ac.uk/library/endnote_tips_harvard.php
If you wish to use “Cite them right: referencing made easy” there are copies available in the Robinson Library.
