I have a big problem. In my dissertation, I need to have the quotation style traditionally used in the Former Soviet Union countries, but this doesn’t seem to be supported by Endnote? I am, of course, somewhat of an Endnote newbie, so maybe I’m wrong here?
Shortly speaking, what I need to have, working in Word 2007, is the following:
“This is an example of a sentence [23, p. 6]”
Then, the literature list must appear in the end of the document and be in alphabetical order, i.e:
Aardvark, John (1999)
Boar, Peter (2005)
.
.
Newcastle, Donald (1977)
…and so on.
Pleeease help me with this! So far, I have had to do the whole thing MANUALLY, 5 or 6 times already, and it takes about two days every time! Thus, if someone at least has an idea on how to substitute this style for another, near-lying style or otherwise, I would indeed be very happy.
Where does the rest of the reference appear, or did you short hand that below?
The first style is numbered, alpha sorted, with “cited pages” you can edit citation to include the referenced page in the “pages” space
(in edit, I replaced the original with a corrected version. The Year was inadvertantly inserted as YEAR and didn’t match the correct field in the original attachment).
(or in the “unformatted” temporary citation like this: {Adamson, 1987 #3@26}.
the second is a version where I removed the rest of the the rest of the reference, but as I say, that would make it impossible for the reader to find the referenced text,
or are you looking for a footnoted solution, with a second complete reference list at the end?
(deleted second style, since not required)

Thank you. Yes, I short handed it above, i.e. first of all I need angle brackets. Inside these brackets, sources should be shown numerically, referring to the actual author, alphabetically, according to number in the reference list. Then follows a comma, then a reference to the actual page. In the end of the dissertation, there must be a reference list in numbered form, and nothing but this list, i.e. no footnotes.
A stupid question, but what am I supposed to do with the files you published? And do you mean that I can type within those style parentheses, but then it won’t be possible to update the list?
What version of endnote are you using and what operating system? If X2 or X3, and windows, you can open the (first) attachment and it should open in endnote- and then save it from endnote. Then using style manager, you tick the box in front, and it will show up in your drop-down list, so you can use it.
If an older version - you need to save it to the folder specified in your preferences >folder location.
The best way for a new user to edit the citation to add the page numbers is to right click in the grey field for that reference, select “edit citation” more… and then to add the pages to the “pages” box. You could also just add p. 26 to the suffix box which means the “citation template” doesn’t need the “Cited Pages” part in the style. The other option I gave is only if you keep CWYW off, and just want to format the references at the end. I sometimes like to do this with a numbered style, as I like to see that I have cited the correct author.
You may want to change the character formatting in the references with respect to italics, bold, and order from the style I provided. That can be tricky too. See how you get on, then attach your best attempt and we can help you “massage it”.
Thank you very much! Okay, I might give it a shot. I’m using X2 with Windows Vista by the way.

Okay, so basically this is the same thing that you would do when using Word 2007’s own reference system, isn’t it?
One more stupid question perhaps, but since I have already done everything completely manually in the document, creating everything from brackets to list of references in Word by hand, I guess that there is no way of taking advantage of this through Endnote “retroactively”, right? See, the problem is that articles, monographies etc., according to the “Soviet” system, have to be in different formats when given in the list of references, so it would be VERY tidy to have to copy-paste each one of them into Endnote and then manually correcting each post. I have already done this after getting the sources from Google Scholar and other places on the net.
So, in other words: Would there be any way of, for example, connect an element of a numbered list in Word to an entry in Endnote, according to the method that you have just described (or otherwise)? I.e. could I do it the “opposite way” and connect an entry in a numbered list (my manually created list of references in the Word document, that is) and then tie/connect it to a newly created Endnote entry?

Don’t know, as I still muddle along just fine with Word2003

This one is not easy, but I have done what I think you are asking several times, in particular when a colleague unlinks all the fields, leaving me with a manuscript significantly edited, but no longer linked to Endnote. Apart from swearing never to collaborate with them again, I set up a search and replace scheme to insert a # infront of the numbers and get a semicolon between them all. Then I construct a library by dragging and dropping the references in the order they appear in the manuscript which assigns the record numbers to match their number in the document. In your case, you probably might get away with dragging them all into one library, sorting by author and then dragging to a new library, but it is safer my way. Search and replace the square brackets with {curley brackets. I do this one by one for the open bracket, so you can see whether any of the numbers need to be expanded (from [1-3] to {#1; #2; #3}) and you can make sure the p. stuff is replaced by the @ infront of the pages.
Sounds intensive, but probably easier than trying to re-insert them all by hand.
