Library format differs from Bibliography

If this is covered elsewhere...please redirect me.

I have a reference that outputs into the bibliography incorrectly. The reference output into Word is: Aguinis, H., & Glavas, A. (2012). What We Know and Don’t Know About Corporate Social Responsibility A Review and Research Agenda. Journal of Management, 38(4), 932–968. http://doi.org/10.1177/0149206311436079

But for the library I have the title in sentence case (APA format): What we know and don’t know about corporate social responsibility: A review and research agenda

Why is the Bibliography not outputting correctly (I only have this one that causes problems, all other references export correctly into the Bibliography)

Thanks, Candace

    Is this also the case when you right-click on the item --> Create Bibliography, select APA as citation style and Clipboard as format and then paste it (e.g. here)?

    I don't see any reason why this would be happening other than that there's an old version embedded in your document.

    Adam, your directions create a correct reference with the title of the article in sentence case. The problem occurs when I use the Bibliography icon in the Add-Ins from Word.

    You have an old version of the item in your Word document that likely isn't linked to your library anymore or is a duplicate.
    First, check if this is the only instance of the item in question in your libary. Otherwise, <i>merge</i> the duplicates (select both, right-click, merge items).
    If there are no duplicates, you'll need to delete all instances of the item in question from your text and re-insert, making sure that you insert from under "My Library" in the Word add-on.

    There were no duplicates. I deleted reference and citation from text and download again from the library database, added back the citation. That fixed the problem. Thanks.
