Good afternoon,
I am a French student writing a thesis. I am new to EndNote and I am not very familiar with this kind of software.
I did not find any style that matches the French one (unfortunately it is compulsory to use this style for my thesis).
I did not try all styles because they are about 5000.
This is how French reference style works:
In the footnotes:
For a journal article:
Authorlastname, Authorfirstname. “Article title”. _Journal _issue (year): pages.
For a book:
Authorlastname, Authorfirstname. Title in italic. Place published: Edition, Year.
For a book chapter:
Authorlastname, Authofirstname. “Chapter title”. Book title in italic. Book author, Place published, Year.
For a journal article:
Authorlastname, Authorfirstname. “Article title”. _Journal in italic _issue (year): pages.
In the bibliography:
For an article:
AUTHORLASTNAME, Authorfirstname, “Article title”, Journal in italic, year, volume, issue, pages.
For a book:
AUTHORLASTNAME, Authorfirstname, _Book title in italics. _Place published : edition, year, number of pages.
Could someone help me finding or creating a style that would match the French one?
I tried to edit the ABNT style but I didn’t succeed (for instance, the author’s last name stayed in capital letters in the footnotes).
It would help me very much. I am having a hard time trying to do it. Otherwise I’m going to do it all without EndNote.
Thank you very much for your attention.
