Apologies for cross-posting ..
I've had another enquiry from a Mac user that I can't help with so I'm hoping there's a Mac whizz out there.
One of our doctors is writing a dissertation in Pages. He is including Vancouver references in a single bibliography as a document end-note. If he cites a reference that he has already used in the body of his dissertation,
Pages inserts a new entry in the bibliography - it doesn't recognise that it has already been cited and doesn't use the number already allocated to it.
He has 2 questions:
- does anyone know how to get Pages to recognise multiple uses of the same reference?
- if there isn't an answer to question 1, then how would it be acceptable to edit the bibliography to reflect the use of the same reference? He suggested editing the bibliography entry to signpost the reader to the first
entry for that reference (something like "(5), see (1)"). I wasn't sure if that would be acceptable.
Any help that saves him a massive reformatting task would be welcome.
Regards,
Paul
