EndNote Styles

EndNote is a commonly used bibliography program that allows one to construct a database of references, and then incorporate them into written material. Using styles, one can rapidly change how references are formatted. So, for example, one can change a paper's bibliography from, say, alphabetized author-date entries to numerically subscripted entries with a few mouse clicks. The EndNote program comes with styles for many journals, and the EndNote website contains many more.

However, some styles utilized by forensic psychiatrists are not generally available. I have constructed style files for some journals and publishers. They come with no guarantees or warranties, but you are free to use them. They include Case (meaning law case) as a reference type. Instructions in Word .doc format are included in the downloadable zip files.

I do not provide support for using EndNote, but if you discover that the styles do not format correctly, please let me know by email.

You should be aware that for EndNote to use abbreviations of journals ("Am J Psychiatry" for the "American Journal of Psychiatry"), term lists need to be set up correctly on the user's computer (see the program's help files). Some of the styles utilize term lists, but the style alone will not create the abbreviations unless journal term lists are set up.
