EndNote & EndNote Online

Consistently display the correct journal title format in a bibliography by setting up a journals term list.  

Databases import journal titles differently. Some display the full title and others display the abbreviation. 

Select Tools, Open Term List, then Journals Term List.

If terms are present, select all the terms and click on Delete Term.  Then, select the Lists tab.

Click Import List.

Go to the Terms List folder (inside the EndNote Folder).  Select Medical, or the term list for your field of study and click Open. Click OK on the next window.

Now when you click on the Terms tab,  

you should see a full list of journal names and their matching abbreviations.  Close the Term Lists window.

Open the Style Manager by selecting Edit, Output Styles, then Open Style Manager.

Show the styles on your Favorites list by clicking Find by and then Favorites.  Select a style and click Edit.

Select the Journal Names option.  If the Journal Name format is set to something other than Don't replace, as the APA style is in the screenshot below, it is set to use the journals term list and you can close the window without making changes.

If the style is set to Don't replace, select the journal name options you prefer (e.g., Use full journal name, or Abbreviation 1, etc.).  You must then save the style with a new name by selecting Save As from the File menu. You can close the style editing window and the style manager.
