inconsistent author formats in CWYW with Word 2003
Author: Mia A    Posted: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 15:22:33 -0500
I am using Endnote 9 with Word 2003 and noticed several inconsistencies in author format within multiple citation lists. While I've set the overall output style to APA 5th, I keep getting the following for some of the citations in a list. Obviously, with APA, we don't want to see authors' initials. E.g., (M. Kreuter, Caburnay, Chen, & Donlin, 2004; M.W. Kreuter & Wray, 2003; Marcus et al., 2005; Smeets, Brug, & de Vries, 2006; Williams-Piehota, Schneider, Pizarro, Mowad, & Salovey, 2003) I've gone into the actual endnote library to see if there was anything wrong with the individual records, and even changed things around to see what might make a difference, but still keep coming up with the same errors. And yes, my Endnote is updated. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Any suggestions? Mia Liza A.

I can see the problem from the example you quote. There is no way for Endnote to know that M Kreuter and M.W. Kreuter are the same author. They have different initials. Make them both the same, or Endnote will supply the initials to distinguish the two, unless you remove the direction in the style to disambiguate ambiguous authors in the style.

Leanne, Yes, that did it! Thanks, Mia -----Original Message----- From: Leanne If you changed the author, the document is probably no longer recognizing it as the original record and is pulling it from the travelling library. Unformat the references (using the unformat bibliography tool bar icon or menu item) and then reformat the bibliography, and I bet they go away, if the initials are the same in both records. You will need to reenable CWYW after manually unformating, if you use CWYW. Leanne -----Original Message----- From: Mia To: Leanne Subject: RE: inconsistent author formats in CWYW with Word 2003 Hi Leanne, That is not what is wrong with the citation: in APA format, only the last name has to appear in text (e.g., Kreuter et al. 2004) Notice in the string that Endnote did this correctly with other citations, but with some (the Kreuter ones in this example), Endnote tacked on his initials. I've tried re-entering the author, taking out spaces, checking where I put commas in the Endnote library entry, but to no avail. In the CWYW, it still came out inconsistently as described: (M. Kreuter, Caburnay, Chen, & Donlin, 2004; M.W. Kreuter & Wray, 2003; Marcus et al., 2005; Smeets, Brug, & de Vries, 2006; Williams-Piehota, Schneider, Pizarro, Mowad, & Salovey, 2003) Best, Mia ________________________________ From: Leanne Subject: RE: inconsistent author formats in CWYW with Word 2003 I can see the problem from the example you quote.

Looks like EndNote is treating M. Kreuter and M. W. Kreuter as different authors.

Mia Liza, Endnote thinks the two Kreuter authors are different, because they have different initials (One is 'M. Kreuter', the other is 'M.W. Kreuter'). Make sure the original references in your Endnote library have the author's name treated exactly the same way - e.g. copy and paste from one reference to the next, or use the authors' term list to make sure they are the same.

Dear Mia I had this problem too - with APA 5th. You need to amend your output style. Go to Edit | Output styles | Edit APA 5th. Then go to the section in Citations called Ambiguous Citations. Uncheck the option to show author initials to differentiate different authors. This should fix the problem.

Hi Mia This took me by surprise too, the first time it happened. I had two different authors whose surname was Brown, and suddenly their initials were in every reference. Of course this is the APA 5th style. In your case, I suggest you check all your entries for Kreuter and make sure that you've entered them in exactly the same way. That should fix the problem. I hope this helps. Regards, Peter Sim Whangarei, NZ > I am using Endnote 9 with Word 2003 and noticed several > inconsistencies in author format within multiple citation lists.
