(For APA, it is not, but for some others, it is.) You can also select to exclude any periods in the abbreviation, if that’s how a journal title is supposed to appear in your style. If the “Use full journal name” button is selected, you’re good to go! If not, choose that option or choose to use a specific abbreviation, if that’s typical of the citation style.
Select a style and click “Edit.” Then, find “Journal Names” on the left. (Note: If you use multiple citation styles, you will have to do this for each style.) Use the “Find By” button to select “Favorites” and see your most frequently used styles. Click Edit > Output Style > Open Style Manager. Navigate back to the “Terms” tab at the top of the box and you will now see the journal names and any abbreviations. Select the journals list file for your field of study. However, if it does not, navigate to Program Files > EndNote x8 > Terms Lists. It should open up to the Terms Lists folder inside of your EndNote application folder. Select the “Lists” tab at the top of the box and make sure “Journals” is highlighted before clicking the “Import List” button on the bottom right. If there are already journals listed in the window, select all of the journals (right-click and “Select All”) and click “Delete Term.”.
Go to Tools > Open Term Lists > Journals Term List.
