I have an issue with APA newspaper citations. With the “Reference Type” set to newspaper: when I enter an endnote citation into my Pages document, it enters as (Name, Year, Month Date)- for example: (Paul, 2013, May 5). According to the APA guidelines, the citation should read (Name, Year) or (Paul, 2013). It always ads the issue date field in, even when I switch the style to Author-Date. Has anyone dealt with this or know how to work around it? (Also, I am writing a case study and have about 45 newspaper citations, most used multiple times, so changing each as they crop up will be a real pain).
It works ok for me (EndNote X6, Word 2010), so I wonder, did you enter the month-date in the Issue Date field? Only the year should go in the Year field.
Thanks for your response. I did try with the month-date in the issue field only the year in the year field, it still places them all in the in-text citation. :( I am using Endnote X7 and Pages 09 in Mac.
I had initially put the entire date under the Year field. I tried switching a few entries to the correct split between year and issue date, then checked to see if that worked by entering citations for those entries that I had fixed. They still came out author-year-month-date, so I came here. Then when I went through and fixed all of the entries, they came out in the correct author-year form.
