I’m using Endnote X3, and I can’t seem to make the year show up in my citations. I have tried the Author-Date style, Cell style, and a bunch of others where the year should show. Instead of (author year) I just get (author et al.). I’ve looked at the style settings and the citation template does say (Author Year). Is there some setting somewhere that is blocking the year from showing up in all of these styles?
I’ve used previous versions of Endnote a lot (for manuscripts and dissertation, worked great), but I really can’t seem to make this work.
Thanks Leanne. My citations are all downloaded from various medical journal websites, using the “export/download citation” function, and they appear to be fine.
I followed your advice and went to “edit citation” and found that the default setting had the “exclude year” box checked. I changed each citation, and now this document is fine. It would be great to know how to change the default to an unchecked “exclude year” box, just so I don’t have to deal with this again. Anyone know how to change that?
The general thrust of this thread has been that Snow Leopard is the problem, but I have been having a great deal of difficulty with X3 and Pages 09 on both Leopard and Snow Leopard. In fact, I am having identical problems both places, so I fault X3. Tech support has been notably unresponsive to requests for help, beyond, of course, the website’s continuing denial that there are any problems.
