end note brackets

EndNote EndNote How To
1

Hello hello,

I am a researcher at Monash University who has been using your product since 2011. 

Right now, I am writing a thesis and here is my problem:

End Note recognizes every ( ) as an in-text citation, even when I don’t intend it to. 

For example in the following sentence: Uniyal’s research revealed that photo-sharing (26.4%) is the second most popular activity on Facebook after status updates (33%).

And every time I “edit citation” the END NOTE window POPS UP and prompts me to “insert citation” even if I didn’t want to because that’s not what I meant.

Then I tried unformatted citations, but after a while, just got tired of it as well because it gets messy.

If anyone knows of a way to solve this issue, please please please let me know.

I don’t want to ruin my Facebook thesis because of poor citation and referencing.

Thank you.

It sounds like the the temporary citation delimiters have been changed from {} to ().  This could be a one off for the document at hand, which can be corrected in the format Bibliography menu box (on the first tab) or a systemic change in endnote preferences (from Endnote, edit preferences> Temporary Citations). 

P.S. I notice you have posted this in other places – once is really enough.  – can you edit the others and delete them???
