how to merge two paper of the same author in citation

keliao · January 10, 2011, 5:23am

I have to paper from the same author , for example, Smith 2006a, and 2006b.

I want to use (Smith 2006a, b) in paper citation, but I only can get (Smith 2006a, Smith 2006b) after I create new style

What can I do? I use Endnote X4.

BTW: I search the web and try to use Edit reference from Word, and hide the author from the second paper, but I can only get (Smith 2006a, 2006b), not exactly as what I want. If I hide the year of the second paper, then the second paper dispears.

Thanks.

When you edit the citation (Smith 2006a, Smith 2006b), for the first citation insert a comma followed by the letter b in the Suffix field (see Image1 - which uses Agresti as the author). Then for the second citation click to select “Year” then click OK to close the Edit & Manage Citations window (See Image2).
