Title abbreviations are controlled by journal abbreviation lists, which must be imported, in Endnote.

  • Endnote x9: In the menu click on "Tools" and select "Define Term Lists...".
  • Endnote 20: In the menu click on "Library" and select "Define Term Lists...".

In the pop-up window I select "Journals" and click "Import List..."

Mac: You must find the folder where you have installed Endnote: Hard disk/Applications/EndNote (EndNote version number)/Terms

Select the list that fits your subject area and open it.
It is possible to import multiple lists. But they must be imported one at a time.
