You can also manually add a reference to your EndNote library.
- From the main menu bar, click References and then New Reference
- Select the appropriate Reference Type (book, journal, etc.) from the pull-down menu
- Enter the citation information [EndNote adds punctuation]
- Enter surname first [Einstein, Albert]
- Enter each author on a separate line
- Enter volume or issue numbers only [e.g. 5 not v.5]
- Separate keywords with a semicolon, backslash or enter
- Notes are fields that you can define.
Tip: When entering a corporate or institutional author name like "California State University" or "Centers for Disease Control", enter a comma after the name. This will prevent EndNote from inverting or abbreviating the name as it would for an individual author's.
To close a reference click on the X button or select Close Reference under File.
The Preview pane at the bottom of the screen displays a selected reference in the selected format style. Not all fields will be displayed. To see the complete reference double click on it from the main [Library]window.
To Change the bibliographic format style:
- Highlight the reference you wish to change [or go to Edit then Select All to change every reference]
- Click on the Select Another Style drop-down menu. If you don't see the format you need, click on the Select Another Style and a very long list will appear
