Manual Creation of Records

Tips/Guidelines for Entering Information

 

Enter data without formatting . The Style used when printing your list of references will add whatever formatting is required by that particular style.

Example:Do not use bolding, underlining, italics, punctuation, etc. Capitalize in sentence style (first word, proper nouns in English, all nouns in German, etc.)

Exceptions:Use formatting for words that could not be interpreted by a style, such as superscript, subscript, capitalization of proper nouns, and use of italics for genus species names, etc. You must also use commas between the last and first names of authors.

Author Guidelines

Personal name is recorded in the following order:
Lastname, Firstname Middlename
Initials are separated by a space or period: Lastname, F.M.

Multiple authors
Each author should be entered on a separate line, or separated with a semi-colon.

Corporate names are entered as you want them to appear, without commas. Enter a comma at the end for proper formatting:
Standard and Poor’s, Inc.,

Date of Publication:
Enter dates as you want them to appear. EndNote does not re-format dates.

Year= Enter the year information only here. This used for sorting by date.
2003

Date= This field is used for month, day and year if available. You should enter this information in a numeric format, instead of as text. Use the format of yr/month/day
96/06/12 NOT June12th, 1996

Pages : Enter number(s) only. The output style will determine if it is p. or pages.
Enter page ranges in a variety of formats. EndNote can interpret page ranges.

222-226 OR 222-6

Keyword Guidelines: Keywords can be single words or multiple word phrases. Use upper case for the initial letter of each word. Each keyword should be entered on a separate line or separated by a semi-colon.
