There may be times you may want to omit the author or the year in the final formatted citation. For example, you may have already mentioned author’s name in the sentence and need only the year in the final citation. In such case, you can add “^na” anywhere between open bracket “[“ and pound sign “#” in the temporary citation. For example:
Similarly, you can suppress year by using “^ny”. For example:
Note: There are two menu commands "Shoot Temp Suppress Author" and "Shoot Temp Suppress Year" that will add ^na or ^ny automatically when you shoot temporary citation. But these two menu commands are not shown by default. You can add them to the menu system by go to "Tools | Customize". On the "Commands" tab, go to the "Edit" category. You can then drag and drop any commands to the menu system.
There are occasions in which it would be useful not to have the citation surrounded by parentheses. For example, APA style requires citations below diagrams or tables to be listed as: "Source: Smith and Bowen, 2004". In other places, the same citation should be shown as: "(Smith and Bowen, 2004)". Biblioscape allows you to use ^np inside temporary citation to indicate no parenthesis should be added around the formatted citation. You can add “^np” anywhere between open bracket “[“ and pound sign “#” in the temporary citation. For example:
Here is another example:
Text can be included in the temporary citation, so after formatting, it can be added at the beginning or the end of final citation. This text is not used to match the temporary citation to a record in the database. Only text between the pound sign “#” and the end bracket “]” is used to identify a record. The prefix text should be added inside parentheses immediately after the open bracket. If the left parenthesis is not added immediately after the open bracket “[“, it will be interpreted as suffix text. The following example shows how to include prefix and suffix text to be included in the final citation.
Temporary citation: [(see also ) Smith, K. 1992 #23]
Final citation: (See also Smith, 1992)
Temporary citation: [Smith, K. 1992 (, pp. 45-47) #23]
Final citation: (Smith, 1992, pp. 45-47)
In multiple citations, the prefix and suffix text will always remain with the citation they follow. The prefix and suffix text can be used in natural citation as well. For example:
Temporary citation: [(see also ) #smith 1992 synthesis nucleoside]
Final citation: (See also Smith, 1992)
For styles that use author-date system, including cited pages inside parenthesis as shown above should be enough to handle the needs. For styles that generate citations in footnote, cited pages have to be added differently. Some output styles for footnote require you to include cited pages for cited books. These styles are mostly used in the fields of humanity and art. Many cited citations are from different sections of the same book. So adding cited pages is mandatory in such cases. Biblioscape style editor supports cited pages. You enter the cited pages in temporary citation in the form: [Sood, A. 1989 @45-47 #23]. During formatting, Biblioscape will extract the page numbers after the @ sign. The extracted page numbers will be treated as other items in an output styles. That means, you can add text before and after it, you can pick the font style to apply, and you can choose how start page and end page to be formatted. If Biblioscape finds cited pages in a temporary citation, it will format it according to the specification in the output style used. If there is no cited pages entry in the style you used, cited pages data found in temporary citation will be ignored. So, in order to use cited pages, you have to be sure that cited pages entry is included in the style you chose.
The following examples will show you how different modifications to a temporary citation will affect its formatted citation.
