Hi Emily

it's been a while since i've used Endnote and I didn't use with HDAS but
with ebsco databases, so Im sure other people will have more informative
responses...

But I used to use the "cite while you write" plug in quite a lot. You can
add it to your Word tool bar quite easily see:
http://www.adeptscience.co.uk/kb/article/CC5E (or there'll be tutorials on
youtube if you want to check how to do)

You can then easily import references from your endnote library of
references into a word document using this cite while you write function
and it appears as both a reference in text and at end of work as a
formatted reference.

How it appeared would depend on what format you'd decided to use for your
endnote reference library. So if you want to see the entire journal title,
i'd pick a referencing format that allows this e.g. Harvard referencing
rather than some of the medical referencing systems that use abbreviations
for journal titles.

It wasn't perfect but proved quite handy...

Hope that helps
