RE: Output style - problem with parentheses

Only by deleting the first set of parentheses from your citation style and inserting them manually as a part of the intext citation (very clunky, and more work) i.e. type open parenthesis <insert ref> close parenthesis----and skip the parentheses when you are just quoting the year--- or doing a search and replace before submission removing "((" and replacing with "(" (which is far easier).

Boy am I glad I am a scientist and most of our journals don't have citations this complicated!

Subject: Output style - problem with parentheses

Dear All:

I am using EndNote X1 for Windows XP.

In the US Journal of Finance, the output style is the following for in-text citations : Author (Year). For example, we get this output:
"This idea has already been expressed (Adams and Ferreira (2007))".
The double parenthesis at the end is not nice but necessary (I checked in published articles). However, when we remove author's name, we get the following output: "as in Adams and Ferreira ((2007))". The double pair of parentheses is, this time, not acceptable (and not published), only one pair being published.

In practice, is there a way to get a single pair of parentheses when we remove the author's name from the citations?

Best regards

Herve Stolowy
