A subject list is a sorted list of unique terms (words or phrases) that occur in particular fields of the records you choose. You can base a subject list on any EndNote field or combination of fields.
To print a subject list:
Determine which references you want EndNote to use when building the subject list, and display only those references in the Library window.
From the References menu, select Show All References to include all references in the subject list.
Click on a Group name to display only the references in a specific group.
From the Tools menu, select Search Library to find a subset of references for your subject list.
Highlight individual references and then use the Show Selected References command to list those references for the subject list.
Click in the reference list to make it the active panel.
From the Tools menu, select Subject Bibliography. A Subject Fields dialog appears, listing the EndNote fields by default field name.
Highlight the field(s) whose contents you wish to use as subject headings.
You can include any number of fields.
If you build the list from more than one field, the terms generated from the fields are combined into a single list.
To quickly select all fields or clear all fields, use the buttons to the right of the dialog.
+ Click on individual fields to select or deselect them.
Select the check boxes as needed to determine whether an entire field is used as a term, or whether a field should be split into multiple terms.
"List each author separately", when checked, will list each author name as a separate entry. If not checked, all authors from a single field will appear as a single entry.
"In other fields, list each entry that is separated by slash, carriage return, or line feed", when checked, separates any non-author field into multiple entries.
Terms in the Keywords field are always listed as separate entries.
Click OK to display the terms found in the field(s) you selected.
Select the terms you want in the subject list.
To quickly select all terms or clear all terms, use the buttons on the right side of the dialog.
You may want to select all terms and then + click to deselect the few terms you do not want included.
Click OK to display your subject list. If the window does not display a simple list of terms, you must modify settings on the Configure Subject Bibliography dialog as described next.
Click the Layout button to display the Configure Subject Bibliography dialog.
On the References panel, enter a Reference List Title, which will print at the top of the list.
When you print a subject list, the other settings on the Reference List panel are ignored. The output style is ignored because you are not printing formatted references, and the sort order set here applies only to formatted references. The sort order of terms is set on the Terms tab.
On the Terms tab:
Reference List must be set to Subject Terms Only.
Include may include Subject Term Counts and/or a List of Record IDs if you wish.
Subject Term Layout can be set to print terms in Alphabetical or Term Count order and in Ascending or Descending order.
Do not include a Prefix, and include a caret-p (^p) as a Suffix so each term prints as a new paragraph on a new line.
Apply Styles as you wish. However, if you print to a text file all styles are stripped.
Click on the Page Layout tab if you wish to change the font, size, or page margins.
Note: The Bibliography Layout tab applies to subject bibliographies only, and does not affect a simple subject list.
Click OK to save changes to the dialog and update the list in the Subject Bibliography window.
If the window still does not show the list you need, you can click on the Terms button to select or deselect terms from the selected field(s) or click Layout again to make more changes to the Configure Subject Bibliography dialog.
View, print or dismiss the list:
Click Print Preview to see a page layout view of the bibliography.
Click Print to print to a printer. The Print dialog appears. Verify settings and click OK or Print.
Click SaveAs to print to a disk file. A file dialog appears for you to name the file. Select the file type (text, RTF, or HTML), name the file, and click Save.
Click Close to dismiss the Subject Bibliography window and return to your record list.
Note: Terms are printed as they appear in your records. No special formatting of author names and no journal abbreviations are applied.
