John and Dave L have reworked the APA 6th style. This is now the current style on our N:\ drive – the old one is still available so if there are students wanting to stay with that, it is now called APA 6th – old.ens.
Students or staff using their own computers can (if they wish) get the newer style by downloading the Styles folder from the EndNote Guide:
http://canterbury.libguides.com/ld.php?content_id=34698890
and extracting the files: they can copy either just the new APA style, or all the styles from this folder, to their installation.
Details of the changes made to the reworked output style are in the “About the Style” section (edit the style to see it).
A few key changes are
– DOI is in the new format, as on our APA pages and outlined at http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2017/03/doi-display-guidelines-update-march-2017.html
– For journal articles, the reference types to use are:
* Journal Article reference type when there is a DOI or no DOI at all. Do not use if the reference requires a URL (URLs are excluded as database-derived references often include URL spaghetti)
* Electronic Article reference type where URL is required (DOIs also accommodated)
* Magazine Article reference type when no volume or issue number (as in this situation APA precedes the page range with p. or pp.)
– Standard reference type is now available
– Generic reference type can be used to generate any complex reference.
There is an APA exemplars EndNote library at K:\LIBR-Library\Academic-Support\Research\Reference-Management\APA-Project-2018-DaveL-John
The Research Notes field explains the source of each reference (APA manual, APA Style Blog, etc.).
Feel free to ask me if you have any questions about the revised APA 6th output style.
