I routinely use temporary citations in EndNote for iPad for daily typing and in-text citing, and later on finish by updating citations and bibliography on Word for Windows with EndNoteX9 plug-in. The style I use in most cases is Chicago 17.
Problem #1. A good part of my sources are newspaper reports that do not have authors (that happens when there is no specific reporter behind a story, so the newspaper is considered the source). When I copy temporary citations for such no-author sources, they look like { , year). When I attempt to update bibliography and citations in desktop Word later on, EndNote does not recognize these sources and asks me to choose from a list of sources on my account. The problem is that I have dozens of such no-author sources and I can’t possibly remember which one belongs where. Anybody know a workaround?
Problem #2 (really pressing). Say, even if I manage to match (or mismatch) temporary citations and sources this way, in-text citations appear as (“title” year). By the style requirements, it must be the (newspaper year). Yet, the final bibliography appears as should be: “Article name”. Year. Newspaper. Date. URL.
Let me show a real example to be more illustrative:
-
EndNote citation: Year 2020, newspaper The Guardian, Title Trump plays campaign-style video attacking press at White House briefing, Date April 13. Author field left empty.
-
(MS Word On iPad): Some news are more surprising that others { , 2020} ].
-
(MS Word on Windows): Some news are more surprising than others (“Trump plays campaign-style video attacking press at White House briefing” 2020).
-
Bibliography: “Trump plays campaign-style video attacking press at White House briefing.” 2020. The Guardian, April 13, 2020. Accessed 04/15/2020. URL.
What can I tweak in the citation to make it appear in text as (The Guardian 2020) and, at the same time, keeping the abovementioned libliography unchanged?
Problem #3. Is there any way to suppress author or year in temporary citations on iPad? I know I can suppress it on the desktop version, after termporary citations are already transformed into permanent in-text ones, but that would mean I would have to read through the entire document and find those citations that need to be suppressed. Given that I am working on a dissertation, reading one document would mean reading a chapter worth 50-60 pages. Again!
Thanks in advance.
