howto add space/blank in bib style [1] a), b), c)

EndNote EndNote How To

Dear all,

I’m running into a strange problem with the Angewandte output style. We have multiple references within one item, thus the bibliography in the end looks like:

[1] a)blablabla; b)blablabla; c)blablabla.

[2] blabla

How do I get an extra space/blank between the a), b), c) and the name (initials) of the first author?

Thanks for the help!

Best,

Joris

To insert the blank space, have you tried modifying the output bibliography template: 

  1. Go to the Endnote toolbar, select EDIT, OUTPUT STYLE, EDIT Angewandte Chemie.  This will cause the Angewandte Chemie style dialogue box to appear.

  2. In the left column of the Angewandte Chemie dialogue box, locate the entry “Bibliography” and just below select TEMPLATES.  Thie will cause the bibliography formats for the assorted reference types to be displayed in the right column. 

  3. For each of the bibliography reference formats shown, put your cursort in front of the “Author” field and hit the space bar to insert a blank space.

  4. Close the Angewandte Chemie dialogue box when completed.  You may be prompted to save the changes as “Angewandte Chemie Copy” - click YES.

  5. Don’t forget to change your output style to Angewandte Chemie Copy which will have the additional blank space.

As for entering a blank space between author’s initials, suggest you correct your individual reference type entries in the author name field:

Example:     Smith, J. P.             

 It’s even easier if you enter the author’s complete name (i.e., Smith, John Paine) as Endnote will convert the initials and insert the space (based on what you entered).

Yes, I already tried that, but that introduces in any bibliography entry a space/blank in front of the first author. This causes a misalignment in the bibliography, because now it introduces a space/blank before every entry, and since it’s a mixed 1a,1b,1c, 2,3 bibliography this looks not okay.

[1] a) blabla

[2]  blabla

All entries are directly exported from either web of science or scopus.

Thanks for the help!

Grouped reference feature is really a new feature introduced in X3. During the beta testing, I also suggested to have a capacity to change the font face (bold, italics) for the alphabet identifiers, but it wasn’t included at least in the X3. They (T-R) are simultaneously working on the bugs/glitches for the older versions as well new features for the most recent versions. It doesn’t seem they are able to add all the features we request, but making a suggestion doesn’t hurt anything.

Anyhow, why don’t you have a thread in the product suggestion board, describing your problem and the feature you want?

Open the output style for editing, and go to the “Citations>Numbering” section.

In the “Bibliography>Follow by” box, insert a space after the closing bracket.

Does that fix the problem?
