A Note About Full Journal Names in APA

To make sure that full journal titles, not their abbreviations, appear in your APA references, you may need to update your Journals Terms List in EndNote before you begin your assignment.

In EndNote, go to Library > Open Term Lists > Journals Terms List.
Highlight the first journal, and press [Ctrl]+A on the keyboard to highlight all the terms
Next, press the Delete Term button to the right to empty the list of old terms.
Go to the Lists tab at the top, and click on the Import List button.
Browse to the Term Lists folder within the EndNote folder, and choose to open the Medical text file
