American Psychological Association (APA) 6th Edition Style Update

The EndNote® APA 6th Style is now available. The updated style is dependent on an accompanying change to the reference type matrix. Both files are provided in the download package along with installation instructions.

see APA 6th 'Output style' on CSU Library EndNote Plugins web page

Please note that the approved CSU APA Referencing Summary (guide) available from http://www.csu.edu.au/division/studserv/learning/referencing/index.htm is now based on the APA 6th edition.

Diffferent fonts appearing in in-text citations & references

If you enter, edit & save EndNote records using the default ‘Plain font’ and ‘Plain size’ settings, EndNote will automatically adopt the font and size of the text in your MS Word document.

If fonts, sizes or styles, other than the default ‘Plain …’ are used in your EndNote records, the text will appear in that format, regardless of the font formatting used in your MS Word document.

EndNote users may end up with different fonts in their Endnote library if they cut and paste text from other sources/documents into EndNote when they creat a records. In which case, selecting the text in your EndNote record and then choosing 'Plain font' and 'Plain size' will overcome this problem.

Hyphenated author names

At a recent EndNote workshop , we were asked how to enter a hyphenated name in an EndNote record so that it is rendered correctly in EndNote using the APA 5th referencing style.
eg.
Yeh, Ryh-Song

If this author's name is entered in EndNote as Yeh, Ryh-Song it will be listed in the corresponding reference as Yeh, R.-s. MS Word accepts Ctrl + Shift +_ as a non-breaking hyhen, but this does not work in EndNote.

One way to overcome this problem is to enter it as an hyphenated corporate author.
i.e.
Australia,, Department of Immigration = Australia, Department of Immigration
Yeh,, Ryh-song = Yeh, Ryh-Son

The corresponding in-text citation when using the APA output style will then appear as (Yeh, 2009).
