Abbreviated journal titles in PubMed

Q: The journal titles of my PubMed references are abbreviated but Harvard requires me to have the journal title in full. How do I fix this?

A: The easiest way to fix this issue is to edit the references as you are importing them into your library. When you have the new references in EndNote in the temporary holding place, manually alter each reference by typing in the full journal title in the correct field. They will then be displayed correctly in your document.

If you have already started your document, change the journal titles in EndNote then in Word choose Format Bibliography from the EndNote toolbar. The journal titles will be changed to show the full title.
