EndNote citation format

The following is for EndNote X9 and earlier. If you are using EndNote online you can insert the citation and then Exclude the Author to produce a citation (2010) you would have to manually type AHMED outside the ( ).

Please see https://support.clarivate.com/Endnote/s/article/EndNote-online-Exclude-the-author-or-year-from-citations?language=en_US for information on how to Exclude the Author.

The default format for most Author Year output styles will produce citations like:

(AHMED 2010; ALI 2012; MOHAMED 2013 and SMITH 2015)

You would need to use the Edit and Manage Citation command to change a citation that would first appear as

(AHMED 2010) into AHMED (2010)

You would insert the citation as you normal do. You can then highlight the citation and on the EndNote tab in Word click on the Edit and Manage Citation command.

A new window will appear with the AHMED reference highlighted. In the lower part of the window you will see a drop down menu called formatting here you can select the option Display as: Author (Year) then click OK and the citation will be changed.
