Using term lists
To show abbreviated journal titles in the bibliography, you will need set up a Term List.
A term list needs to be installed in each library. It only needs to be added once.
Delete exisiting journal names
- From the Library menu, select Open Term Lists, and then select Journals Term List.
- Click and drag, or select one term and press Ctrl+A (Win) or Cmd+A (Mac) to highlight all terms.
- Click Delete Term to delete all existing terms from your list. Note: This will not affect your references.
Adding a journals term list
- Click on the Lists tab and check that Journals is highlighted.
- Click Import List.
- It should open to where the journal term lists are stored. If not, go to:
Windows: C:\Program Files\EndNote (EndNote Version Number)\Term Lists
Mac: Hard Drive > Applications > EndNote 20 > Terms
- Select the list you want to use. The lists are subject based.
- Click Open to import the journal names and abbreviations from the file into the Journals term list.
- Check the journal names in your document by clicking Update citations & bibliography in the EndNote toolbar in Word.
Journal names still not correct
- A journals term list can be missing names. You can add missing names manually to the list.
- Go to the Library menu, select Open Term Lists, and then select Journals Term List.
- Click on New Term.
- Add the full and abbreviated names. Note: You can find abbreviations on the journal website, in databases or check with your librarian. Abbreviation 1 names usually have a full stop.
