There is a slight problem with the solution described in
Saturday's post:
If the corporate author is: National Association of Kennel
Owners - you
can put a comma after the end of Owners and the bibliography
will print
correctly at the end of your document. This is completely
correct.
The problem with the solution described is that your in-text
citation
becomes the entire corporate author (Endnote thinks the
entire text string
before the comma is the last name). If more than one
corporate author
collaborates on the paper the problem is compounded. In one
paper the
intext citation could be (Nei Menggu Wenwu Kago Yanjiusuo
and Beijing
Kaoguxuexi 2000)
Depending on the number of times you use the corporate
author your choices
are:
1. Editing the in-text citation with the "cite while
your write"
function Click on the remove author radio button and put
"National
Association" in the prefix field. Although this will
not always produce an
acceptable bibliography, it is the easier choice. It depends
on how many
corporate authors you have that begin with "National
Association". If you
have two corporate authors National Association of Kennel
Owners and
National Association of Relators and both of them published
papers in
2000. This fix will not allow readers to recognize which
paper you are
citing - both appear in your paper as "(National
Association 2000)"
2. You can adjust the output filter to accept one field for
the in text
citation and another for the bibliography at the end of the
document.
(this is more complicated, but will automatically adjust for
multiple
"National Association" coporate authors) - but it
will severely limit your
ability to use other output filters and may limit your
ability to import
data from web sites.
Sorry this post is long - but the query is a good one that
Endnote isn't
quite able to handle as elegantly as it handles other
bibliography tasks.
