adding author names in text--not within in-text citation
Author: John Fullerton    Posted: Thu, 8 Feb 2007 14:16:22 -0500
Hi A customer asked me if there's a way to add author names in an in-text citation out of the parentheses. The customer is using a style that creates an in-text citation like (Smith and Jones, 2004). Is there a way to have EndNote create the citation like Smith and Jones (2004)? We have excluded the author names from selected citations, so the customer can add Smith and Jones before the in-text citation (2004). I'm thinking that the in-text citation format could probably be changed so that it puts the author names outside the parentheses, however, EndNote will not allow editing the format of the author names (same thing as editing the in-text citation in Word--EndNote changes the format). Ideally, I think the customer is requesting the option of EndNote adding Smith and Jones (2004) and then Smith and Jones could be edited to say, for example as Smith and Jones say (2006) or as Smith and Jones have said (2006) Does anyone have recommendations? Have a nice day John Paul Fullerton

Not easily, no. Unless you want to try what I suggested in the archives http://lists.adeptscience.co.uk/endnote/endnote_Jan_2007/shid_3bf881952d 14f6eea077b0600f17cd63.html (Or search http://lists.adeptscience.co.uk/endnote/ for "author citation leanne" if the link doesn't work) Leanne -----Original Message----- From: /> On Behalf Of /> Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2007 1:16 PM To: Endnote-Interest Subject: adding author names in text--not within in-text citation Hi A customer asked me if there's a way to add author names in an in-text citation out of the parentheses.

Are we talking an MS Word doc with CWYW and instant formatting turned on? An RTF doc?... Having ENX format an in-text citation as "Smith and Jones (2004)" rather than "(Smith and Jones, 2004)" is trivial -- all one needs to do is modify the selected output style's citation template (see Bibliographic Styles > Modifying Style Templates > Citation Template in the manual). For instance, this Author<Link Adjacent symbol>(Year) would do it. But if what you want is, (a) ENX to insert "Smith and Jones (2004)" as a temporary citation, (b) user to modify it to read "Smith and Jones say (2006)", and, (c) ENX still to recognize it as a citation, or, alternatively, if instant formatting is on, recognize it and not reformat it, then the answer is, no, it can't be done. The issue is one of confusing an object (temp citation, which is actually a link to the data in an entry in the ENX library) with its representation (formatted citation, which is data in the form dictated by the current output style). <0x0192>

My recommendation would be to keep doing what you are doing now. Type the author(s) before the citation (or copy and paste from the citation) and then you can do what you like without any possible interference from EndNote.

Hi John, You can use the "edit citations" function on the EndNote toolbar in MS Word.
