You might find that the output style required by a journal doesn't appear to be available in Endnote.  If this happens, you will need to either modify an existing style, or to create a new style.

We recommend following these steps:

Confirm that the style is not available in Endnote by searching in the Endnote Style Manager.  Load this by selecting Tools > Output Styles > Open Style Manager...

Check if the style can be downloaded from the Endnote style repository.  To access this, either click on the Get More on the Web... button, or go to endnote.com/downloads/styles

If the style is not available, you can modify an existing style by following the steps below.

To modify an existing style, go to the “Tools” menu in EndNote and click “Output Styles”, then “Edit...” (the style that you have chosen to edit will be listed in the menu).

In the left-hand pane, go down to the “Bibliography” section and click “Templates.” You will see a list of several different types of references. For each one, you can remove elements, or add new ones using the “Insert Field” button located at the right of the screen.

If you need to change the in-text citation as well, follow the same procedure but select “Templates” in the “Citations” section. You can browse the other options for additional ways to edit the style.

Make sure to save the style under a new name.
