Citation Prefixes

You can type a prefix in front of any unformatted in-text citation, using a backslash to separate the prefix text from the reference. For example, an in-text citation such as:

{see also \Hall, 1988 #77}

formatted in the APA style would be:

(see also Hall, 1988)

When there is only one prefix in a multiple citation and it is at the beginning of the citation, it will stay there regardless of how the citations are sorted. For example, this citation:

{e.g. \Hall,1988 #77; Argus, 1991 #11}

after being formatted in the APA style will appear as:

(e.g. Argus, 1991; Hall, 1988)

If the prefix is not at the beginning of the multiple citation, or if there is more than one prefix in a multiple citation, the prefix text remains with the reference it precedes. For example, this citation:

{Argus, 1984 #11; especially \Hall, 1988 #77}

formatted in the Author-Date style will be:

(Argus, 1984; especially Hall, 1988)

Changing the Citation Prefix Marker

You can change the prefix marker from a backslash to another character by selecting Preferences from EndNote’s Edit menu, selecting the Temporary Citations option, and changing the character in the Citation Prefix Marker box. Use a character that is not otherwise used in the citations. Letters, numbers, semicolons, "@," and commas cannot be prefix markers. See Citation Prefix Marker.
