Importing Terms lists
Before adding references, it is recommended that you import EndNote Term lists. These are lists of stored terms such as journal titles and their official abbreviations, Author names and keywords. These enable you to cite them more consistently. Since different databases store the information differently e.g give the initials / full names of authors or the abbreviated / full name of the journal titles. Different reference styles require names to be displayed in different ways and importing term lists means that EndNote knows how to do this e.g. can abbreviate journal titles where the full name was imported and vice versa.
To import a text file that contains the terms:
- From the 'LIbrary' menu select 'Define Term Lists'.
- Select the 'Lists' tab
