How to link citations to each other by year only?

EndNote EndNote General

Hi,

Endnote offers the possibility to underline linked-in text citations, but some journals ask to underline only the year, not all the citation!

For exampel: instead of underline the author name and year: (John, 2014); we should only underline and link the year: John (2014).

I looked for such an option in Endnote, but I didn’t find!

My question: can we do underline linked citations only by year? 

Thanks

You’ll probably have to do this manually for each citation by: 1) editing the citation to exclude the author – which leaves the year linked; 2) then manually typing the author name so it appears in-text.

Thank you for your answer, Gecko.

It is the manual solution that I am looking forward to avoid!

The manual solution is feasible for a few references or so, but for hundreds of references, this will be time consuming. 

A better solution would be welcome (in the option of Endnote) !

Thanks, Leanne.

In some journals they do it for their references style. Please check one of the free articles examples available at the following link, under “Download these sample articles for free”:

You will see that only the year is linked (or “hyperlinked”).

Thank you Leanne,

Yes, you may be right, indeed. But in Endnote, such an option should also be easy, given the underline-linking option, already available.
