Hi there,

I am having a few problems when I enter page numbers into my endnotes.  sometimes the reference details are followed by a comma then the page numbers and other times they are followed by :

Does anyone know how I control this?

Thanks,

Sarah

This is the correct format if you are following the Chicago Manual of Style. Journal articles have a colon before the page number, and books have a comma.

If you want to change it, go to EndNote and click on Edit>Output Styles>Edit [your style]

When the style edit window opens, go to Footnotes in the left-hand panel, and click on the Templates subheading.

On the right-hand side of the window, look at the templates for the individual reference types. You will see that some have a colon before “Cited Pages”, and some have a comma. You can make changes here if you want to.

Thanks so much, all sorted now.

Hi there,

I still seem to be having trouble with this, for example:

Luis, A. Huerta and Chad d’Entrmont, “Education Tax Credits in a Post-“Zelman” Era: Legal, Political and Policy Alternatives to Vouchers?,” _Education Policy _21, no. 1 (2007): 102 

And then when I enter the same reference it appears:

Huerta and d’Entremont, "Education Tax Credits in a Post-“Zelman” Era: Legal, Political and Policy Alternatives to Vouchers?, 75. 

Any suggestions on how to keep this consistent would be great - thanks.

This is correct if using the Chicago Manual of Style. The colon is required following a bracket, but in repeat citations there is no bracket, so a comma is used. See section 17.179 of the 15th edition of the manual.

By the way, you probably should edit that reference in your EndNote library, and enter a short title in the Short Title field. EndNote will use this short title in the repeat citations.
