Creating a New Term List

To create a new term list:

  1. From the Tools menu, select Define Term Lists.

  2. Click Create List, and then enter the name for the new list. You cannot create a term list with the same name as an existing term list.

  3. Click OK.

  4. Check the "Journal List" box only if you want to create a term list for storing journal names and abbreviations. These different forms of the journal name can be used interchangeably when creating bibliographies. See Creating Bibliographies with Journal Abbreviations.

    The predefined Journals term list is already set up as a multi-column list. If you delete this list, you can create another one as described here. Do not create a 4-column journal list for non-journal fields.

To add terms to the list, you can import an existing list of terms, update the list from existing EndNote field data, or click on the Terms tab to manually enter terms into the list.

Note: New term lists must be linked to fields for the "Suggest terms as you type" and automatic updating features to work.
