Using abbreviations for the Tertiary tile field
Author: Harry Hoffner    Posted: Mon, 14 Apr 2003 07:53:05 -0500
Some journals and publishers that I write for prefer the series titles written out in full, while others prefer abbreviated ones. To save me from having to search and replace for a large number of different series titles before submitting each paper I would like to be aable to use a term list like that provided for journals, which gives me the option of abbreviating or leaving the full title. But since most of the books I cite which are in series are edited volumes of essays, the Reference type in which they appear is "Book Section", in which the book's series title appears in the Tertiary (not Seconday) Title field, to which the Journal Abbreviation capability apparently does not apply. If I interchange the data in the Secondary Title and Teriary title fields in all records of the Book Section reference type, I can use the Term List for Journals, but then I have to change the templates for all the readymade styles sent with EndNote, such as Chicago 1 and 2, etc. Does anyone know of a way in EndNote that I can establish abbreviations for the Tertiary Title field, so as not to have to interchange the data in that field with the Secondary title? If there is no way, I wonder if the endNote Developer would like to consider implementing abbreviation (term) lists for all title fields? Or am I just overlooking an existing capability? Sorry if I am. Please enlighten me. -- Harry A. Hoffner, Jr., The John A. Wilson Professor of Hittitology Emeritus and Co-editor of the Hittite Dictionary at the University of Chicago.

Harry, I'm having the same problem. I've got a help request in at Endnote so I'll let you know what I find out.

Additionally, I have the problem that when a title in my Journals list matches the title of a book, the abbreviation is used. But this ONLY happens when I have used "Book Section" for the title. This is, of course, where the "Series Title" or "Journal" otherwise normally appears, but it has been bumped down to the Tertiary Title in "Book Section." Darris J.
