Journals: First reference and bibliography full name, rest abbreviation

EndNote EndNote How To
1

Hello Community,

I have a question concerning abbreviations of journal names in my citation style. I work on a Mac and use Endnote X9.2.

Currently endnote uses the abbreviated form for all references (incl. bibliography) as long as an abbreviated form has been created for the journal.

What I would like to have is:

  • First reference in a document uses the full journal name (e. g. Black, How to write a book, in: Journal of Book writing 10, 20-30)

  • further references (of the same article) use abbreviated form (e. g. Black, How to write a book, in: JoBw 10, 20-30)

  • Bibliography uses the full journal name (e. g. Black, How to write a book, in: Journal of Book writing 10, 20-30)

Is this even possible?

Thank you very much in advance

Dear Leanne,

thank you for your reply.

I’m sorry, I was talking about footnotes, I should have specified this. Nevertheless your last sentence totally solved my problem. I never realized that there exists a ‘Alternate Journal’ record field. So I will put the abbreviated form there and the long in ‘Journal’ and tell endnote to use the first in the short version and the latter in the long version.

Thank you very much for your help!

Best regards
