Secondary references

If you want to add a secondary reference to a Word document in the format
(Smith 2004 in Brown 2008)
simply follow the steps below:

• Insert the reference to Brown 2008 in the normal way
• Click on the citation to highlight it and select the Edit Citations option from the EndNote toolbar
• In the Prefix box add the text Smith 2004 in
  Click on OK

Your citation will now display in Word as
(Smith 2004 in Brown 2008)

Note: If you do not use Smith 2004 elsewhere in your document then you may need to add it to your list of references manually.

When should I use the 'electronic article' reference type?

In EndNote there are reference types for both journal article and electronic article. When you export references into EndNote from the electronic databases they will display as journal articles. This means when you format them in Coventry Harvard Style they will not display a URL for the article, even though you accessed them online and there is a URL in the EndNote record.

These references are not wrong. Most articles available in the electronic databases are simply PDF versions of the printed journal. This means they are an exact copy of the print journal, so it is fine to reference them as a print journal article, without the URL.

Note: There are a small number of journals which are only made available electroncially and these would need to be entered into EndNote as an 'electronic article' in order to display the URL and Access Date fields. Usually these journals will be displayed in html format on their own website and will not have PDFs of the articles available.
