  The journal abbreviations are contained in the Medical Journals term list supplied with your EndNote software, and located in C:\ Program Files\ EndNote\Term Lists.

  1. Import the Medical Journals term list:

  • Open your EndNote Library.
  • From the Library menu click Define Term Lists…
  • Highlight the Journals terms list under the Liststab, then click Import List…
  • Select Medicalfrom the Term Lists folder (located in C:\ Program Files\ EndNote\ Term Lists), then click Open.
  • A Journals pop up box will appear with the number of terms inserted into the ‘Journals’ term list. Click OK then Close the Term Lists window.

  2. Modify the Vancouver output style to use abbreviated journal titles:

  • From the Tools menu, select Output Styles and choose Edit “Vancouver”.
  • Click on Journal Names from the left and choose Abbreviation 2 on the right within the Vancouverpop up box.

  3. Adjust in-text citations to superscript numbering:

  • While still within the Vancouverpop up box, select Templates to the left underneath Citations and highlight (Bibliography.Number) under Citation. Click on the box containing a capital A with a superscript 1.
