Loading Supplied Journal Abbreviations

You can load one of the supplied journal name lists to use for data entry. These lists also contain journal abbreviations for alternate output, and are used by certain output styles. The lists are supplied as plain text files in the \\EndNote 2025\Terms Lists folder. You can open and view one of these files with any word processor, but make sure to leave it a plain text file so that EndNote can import it.

To replace the existing Journals list with one of the supplied journal abbreviation lists:

1. From the Library menu, select Open Term Lists, and then select Journals Term List.
2. Delete all existing terms from the list (you can click and drag to highlight all terms, or use the Ctrl+A shortcut, and then click Delete Term. This will give you a "clean slate" to import the journal lists, with each version of the name in the correct column of the list.
3. Click on the Lists tab and select the Journals list.
4. Click Import List.
5. In the File dialog, navigate to the \\EndNote 2025\Terms Lists folder, select the list you want to use, and click Open to import the journal names and abbreviations from the file into the Journals term list.
6. Close the Terms Lists dialog.
