multiple works by an author in a single year
Author: Jeff Howard    Posted: Fri, 31 May 2002 09:59:04 -0500
I use EndNote 5 with Word 2002. One crucial issue continues to elude me: When an author has more than one publication in a single year, how do I distinguish between these publications in author-date citations in the text and in my bibliography? Standard style for most journals is to add suffixes "a", "b", etc. EndNote does not seem to do this automatically, which means, as far as I can tell, that I have to do one of two things: (1) Go through each bibliography, determine which in-text citation refers to which article, and add the suffixes manually. This is cumbersome and a bit risky, because each time I reformat the bibliography I seem to lose the suffixes and have to start over. (2) Add suffixes in the EndNote library entries themselves. This is even worse, because in any given paper I often will, for example, wind up citing Smith 1999b but not Smith 1999b. Am I missing some obvious solution? Jeff

Many of the Output styles have this capability. If yours doesn't, look at File -> Output styles -> Edit "<name-of-current-style>" -> Citations -> Ambiguous Citations -> Add a letter after the year. You will see two ways of doing this. I hope this helps.

multiple works by an author in a single year

I'm using EndNote 5 with Word 2000 and/or 97. When an author has more than one publication in a single year, I expect EndNote to distinguish between them in my Word document by adding a, b, c after the year. It does do this, but not in the right order. The order should be: first citation in word doc = a second citation in word doc = b third citation in word doc = c It seems to be pretty random, I've tried to work out if it's putting them in alphabetical order by Title, or the order they were entered into EndNote, but I can't work out the pattern. It seems to organize them correctly in the Bibliography, it's just the citations themselves within the text of the Word document that is in the wrong order. Has anyone come across this problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Becky Horton - ext: 3381 Training Officer, Computer Services Email: /> Training information: http://www2.brookes.ac.uk/services/cs/training Oxford Brookes University, Gipsy Lane Campus, Headington, Oxford, OX3 0BP.

This doesn't seem to be fully documented. To me it looks like the following is happening: The letters a, b, ... follow the sort order of the bibliography. This sort order is determined by the output style, see: File -> Output Style -> Edit "<name-of-current-style" -> Bibliography -> Sort Order. One of the choices there is "Order of appearance". However, this is for the whole bibliography and not within each author/year combination. Another choice is "Author + Year + Title". Then a, b, ... would follow the alphabetic order of the titles. Another choice is "Author + title". Then I suppose a, b, ... would follow title, too. If I am right, then EndNote cannot handle your request. I hope this helps clarify.

I think the answer is that you do want to say order of appearance for the text and then alpha for the bibliography. This gives the desired result, except there might be a conflict where the a,b,c are out of order because of the alpha choice order, but that is the journals problem, and shouldn't be yours!

Hi, Did you choose the same sorting option for BOTH citations and bibliography? You can do so by going to the File>Output Styles>Edit"<the style you're using>" and choose the options you want.
