Examples of Modified Citations

The following examples demonstrate how different modifications to a temporary citation affect its formatted citation in either an author/year or numbered style. In the first column is an example of a modified temporary citation before formatting, and to the right are two examples of that citation formatted in different styles.

Citation	Formatted with APA	Formatted with Numbered	Comments
{Smirnova, #2309}	(Smirnova)	[1]	To remove the year from the formatted citation, delete it from the unformatted citation.
{, 2011 #2309}	(2011)	[1]	To remove the author from the formatted citation, delete just the author’s name from the unformatted citation. Note that the comma remains in the temporary citation to indicate the omission of the author.
{#2309}	No citation appears	[1]	This temporary citation removes the author and the year from the formatted citation. When formatted with an author-date style, the in-text citation is eliminated, but the reference still appears in the bibliography. Numbered citations appear as usual.
{Smirnova, 2011 #2309@23}	(Smirnova, 2011, p. 23)	[1]	Adding the page number indicator followed by a page number will cause the page number to show in styles that include the Cited Pages field in the citation. The formatting of the Cited Pages field in the style controls how the page number will look.
{Smirnova, 2011 #2309, section 3}	(Smirnova, 2011, section 3)	[1, section 3]	Adding suffix text after the record number will cause it to always appear at the end of the citation, exactly as formatted. See Citation Suffixes.
{see \Smirnova, 2011 #2309}	(see Smirnova, 2011)	[see 1]	To add text before the formatted citation, type the text immediately after the opening curly brace, and type a backslash (\) to separate the text from the author’s name. See Citation Prefixes.
{Smirnova, 2011 #2309`; check errata}	(Smirnova, 2011; check errata}	[1; check errata]	The accent grave (`) before the semicolon (;) alerts EndNote to treat the semicolon as text instead of as a delimiter. Normally the semicolon would indicate the end of one citation and beginning of another in a grouped citation. See Including Semicolons and Other Citation Delimiters in a Citation.
