To access the Templates panel, select Output Styles from the EditEndNote menu, and then click Templates under the Citations heading.
The Citations template tells EndNote how to format the in- text citations in the body of your paper. The most popular formats for in-text citations are (Author, Year), numbered, and Author (Year). For example:
An (Author, Year) format displays "(Author, Year)" in the Citation area of the template. When you insert an in-text citation in your paper using this format, the citation would look like this example: (Binfield, 2008)
A numbered format displays a "[Bibliography Number]" in the Citation area of the template. Numbered styles commonly enclose the bibliography number in brackets or parenthesis or use a superscript number. Instead of (Binfield 2008) as your in-text citation, the citation would look like this example: [1]
The bibliography number corresponds to a numbered reference in your bibliography. By default EndNote links the in-text citation to the reference in the bibliography.
An Author (Year) format displays "Author (Year)" in the Citation - Author (Year) area of the template. When you insert an in-text citation in your paper using this format, the citation would look like this example: Binfield (2008)
You may change the template by deleting unwanted field names or punctuation, retyping the punctuation you want, and inserting new fields with the Insert Field button. See Modifying Style Templates for information about editing templates.
Note: Both the Citation and the Citation - Author (Year) area of the template must be completed in order to use the Author (Year) format in a paper.
Use the Multiple Citation Separators field to specify the punctuation to separate multiple citations in your papers. A multiple citation is an in-text citation that includes more than one reference within a single set of delimiters, such as: (Argus, 1993; Billoski, 1993; Hall, 1988). This example uses a semicolon and a space as the separator between citations.
The separator can be changed by typing other text in the Multiple Citation Separator field. Remember to include a space in the separator section when necessary.
If you would like EndNote to insert the journal name in the in-text citations of your paper, select the Journal/Secondary Title field from the Insert Field menu. For example:
In the Citation area of the template, insert the Journal/Secondary Title field in the (Author, Year) field. For example: (Author, Journal/Secondary Title Year)
When you insert an in-text citation in your paper, the citation would look like this example: (Porter, Journal/British Journal of Aesthetics 2009)
In the Citation - Author (Year) area of the template, insert the Journal/Secondary Title field in the Author (Year) field. For example: Author, Journal/Secondary Title (Year)
When you insert an in-text citation in your paper using this format, the citation would look like this example: Porter, Journal/British Journal of Aesthetics (2009)
If you would like EndNote to use 2-digit years (such as 09) in the in-text citations, check the "Use 2-digit years" option. Years from all centuries will be abbreviated to display just the last two digits. This applies only to the years in the in-text citations.
