How can I edit the citation so that the reference starts a sentence?

Hi, I am new to Endnote and finding it challenging when I insert a citation it automatically brackets it (for use at the end of a statement) I am unable to remove the brackets as it just re inserts them. Advice please.

Many thanks

Kate

Thank you for your reply. I have endnote x4 will the same apply? I want to write Gibbs and Biggs (2011)…but it inserts the whole reference in brackets ie (Gibbs & Biggs 2011) and won’t let me change it.

There’s a slight difference in X4 in that you’ll edit the citation to “hide” just the Author.

  1. Type the text into the document:  Gibbs and Biggs

  2. Insert the Gibbs and Biggs citation which results in this: Gibbs and Biggs (Gibbs & Biggs 2011)

  3. Place your cursor on the citation, right-click, select EDIT CITATIONS, EXCLUDE AUTHOR. This changes the citation to display just the year: (2011).

  4. The result now appears as: Gibbs and Biggs (2011)
