APA Format Citation
Author: Karl Ben    Posted: Wed, 21 Sep 2005 21:57:19 -0500
Hi Guys, Having difficulty determining how to use ProCite to create the following: Paragraph: In the aftermath, we [footnote insert here] have seen fellow citizens left stunned and uprooted, searching for loved ones, and grieving for the dead and looking for meaning in a tragedy that seems so blind and random. Footnote: Ben, K. (2004, September). Using Procite 5.0. Journal of Imagination, 7 (2), 14-16. How can I generate this using ProCite? The procedure I have tried is (MS Word) Insert Footnote, insert citation(ProCite Tools), and generate bibliography (ProCite Tools). Thanks in advance for your help. Karl Ben

Karl, I don't think ProCite ever generates the bibliography into a footnote. I too was unable to get it to put the reference anywhere but at the end of the document. Your subject line leads me to say this: I do have Karen Drake's updated APA formats & workforms, if you would like those. They are on the web at http://czresearch.com/pcstyle/. I can set you up with FTP access if you write to me off-list. -Laurel -----Original Message----- From: PROCITE The Personal Bibliographic Software Discussion List "mailto:PROCITE" On Behalf Of Karl Ben Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2005 9:57 PM To: "PROCITE" Subject: APA Format Citation Hi Guys, Having difficulty determining how to use ProCite to create the following: Paragraph: In the aftermath, we [footnote insert here] have seen fellow citizens left stunned and uprooted, searching for loved ones, and grieving for the dead and looking for meaning in a tragedy that seems so blind and random.

You can get a "bibliographic" citation in a footnote (or anywhere in the text). You just modify the In-Text Citations setting in the relevant style. Below is my reply to Karl Ben. What you will get in your footnote is the "In-Text Citations" setting for Journal Article, producing "(Ben, 2004)". To get the "Bibliography" output in the footnote you would have to edit (a copy of) the APA Style, copy the Definition from the Bibliography setting for Journal Article, and paste it into the In-Text Citations Definition for Journal Article. Then when you insert the citation in the footnote you will get something like {Ben 2004 #nnnn} and generate bibliography will put the citation in the footnote. To suppress the entry in the bibliography at the end of the document use the /h switch when you insert the citation like this [ben 2004 /h]. To get ProCite to produce "2004, September" you will have to input the date in the database record in m/d/yyyy format and then in the Definition you press the Configure Fields button and configure date field 20.

Hi there! I was wondering if anyone can help me. I've having trouble converting a ref manager file into a procite file. I reach the screen that says "do you wish to convert this database", I click yes and then is says it cannot open the file and to try a different application. I have both the rmd and rmx ref manager files. Any ideas? Thanks, Safina -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

That's what happened to me in converting ProCite to EndNote.
