Term lists are lists of words or phrases that appear in your references. They help standardize data entry and searching.
EndNote automatically creates empty lists for author names, keywords, and journal names. Other lists may be created as needed. Each term in a list is unique; EndNote removes any duplicated terms.
The journal term list is a multi-column list that may contain up to three different abbreviations for a journal name in addition to the full name. The journal term list is used to perform automatic substitution of abbreviated journal names in formatted bibliographies.
On the Terms tab, a status line at the top of the tab indicates how many terms are listed and which list is open. Use the buttons as follows:
New Term adds a term to the list currently displayed.
Edit Term edits the term currently highlighted in the list.
Delete Term deletes the term currently highlighted in the list.
Insert Term inserts the highlighted term(s) at the cursor, either in a reference or in a search strategy.
To edit or insert from a different list, click on the Lists tab, select a different list, and then click on the Terms tab again.
