Altering bibliographic styles

If you want a citation to display differently in EndNote or in Word, you will need to alter the style that is closest to what you want.

Before you start, make sure you know what "look" you want to end up with, and if you are making a style that is based on a style manual or publisher guidelines, have the manual or guidelines to hand.

• Run EndNote.
• Click on Edit | Output Styles | Open Style Manager

• Select the style you want to alter and click on Edit.

• Click on the category that corresponds to the kind of change you want to make.

• Make the appropriate changes. (See Chapter 15 of the EndNote manual for details of all the options.)
  • To correct the APA 5th style that comes with EndNote X, under Bibliography, click on Templates, and under Journal Article, change "Periodical Title" to "Journal".
  • To correct the APA 5th style that comes with EndNote X1, under Bibliography, click on Templates, and under Electronic Article, change "Journal" to "Periodical Title".
• Click on File | Save As... and save your altered style under a new name.
• Test the altered style in EndNote and Word.

The ability to alter bibliographic styles is one of the most complex parts of EndNote. If you encounter any problems, please contact Peter Blake via .
