Hi All,
Somewhat esoteric problem here.
Going through my bibliography, I noticed that I had 2 references which were exactly the same with the exception that one of the references had the author’s second name initial (so the reference was Wetzel, W. E. etc). When I look through my documents I notice that the year is marked as being 1983a or 1983b. Ok, I figured that this was a double up in Endnote itself (X6.0.2). However, when I went to the reference in Endnote, there is only 1 entry for that particular article. On further investigation, the article that is in Endnote is record number 303 (which is 1983b) and the other article (1983a) is record 3 (which is non-existent in Endnote). I am guessing at some stage I have done some consolidating of the Endnote db and have deleted a double up.
My problem is that, having deleted the double up (which is record 3) any attempt I make to change the references in my document automatically add 1983b, despite the fact that 1983a does not exist. I have no idea how to resolve this issue.
I initially decided that I could try removing the added letter in the ambiguous citations settings, but this did not solve the problem (I still had the 2 references). In addition to which, I have a number of other refernces which do require the addition of a, b and c after the year.
So I am at a bit of a loss, can’t seem to get rid of either one of the references in my bibliography and can’t stop Endnote from adding the b every time I insert a new reference.
Any advice would be appreciated (photos attached).
Cheers
Brett
