Angewandte Chemie style

A problem has been reported with the Angewandte Chemie style on ENDNOTE Web. Please use the alternative Angewandte_Chemie (underscore is important) style in stead.

Corporate authors (companies or organisational) names

When entering corporate authors, put a comma after the name:

Ireland. Department of Education,

Apple Computer Inc.,

This will ensure that the entire name is treated as a first name, so that the author appears correctly in your reference.

If your corporate author name includes a comma in the name itself, use two commas in place of the first comma:

Department of XY,, University of XY

EndNote treats this as a last name followed by a blank first name. Then, everything after the (blank) first name is appended, including a second comma in the name. The formatted result is the corporate name with the comma in place.

Secondary referencing or how to cite a work within a work

Hi folks,

A question which often arises is how do you quote something which is quoted in another work or secondary referencing? Secondary referencing is when one author is referring to the work of another and the primary source is not available. Try if possible to get a hold of the original work. If, however, this is not possible then the rule is as follows:

Do not cite a work that you have not read. If you read an article which refers to a
different article, cite the article you have read.
