Page Numbers

The Page Numbers panel allows you to specify how the page numbers should be formatted in your references.

  • Don’t change page numbers
    The contents of the Pages field are used directly in the formatted reference. No changes are made.
  • Show only the first page number
    Only the first characters in the Pages field are included in the bibliography. For example, "123-125" in the Pages field becomes "123" in the formatted reference.
  • Abbreviate the last page number
    Any digits of the last page number that are the same as the first page number are eliminated. For example, "123-125" in the Pages field becomes "123-5" in the formatted reference.
  • Abbreviate the last page, keeping two digits
    Any digits of the last page number that are the same as the first page number are eliminated, down to a minimum of two digits. For example, "123-125" in the Pages field becomes "123-25" in the formatted reference.
  • Show the full range of pages
    Leading digits are added to the last page number so the full page range is used. For example, "123-5" in the Pages field becomes "123-125" in the formatted reference.
  • Show only the first page for Journals, full range for others
    Journal articles are formatted differently from other types of references.

There is also an option to separate page numbers and date ranges with either an en dash (–) or a hyphen (-). En dashes are generally preferred between number and date ranges by publishers, so this is the default when creating a new style.

Note: Special Formatting Characters describes how to instruct EndNote to add text such as "p." vs. "pp.", or "page" vs. "pages" to the formatted references using the caret (^).
