EndNote for Desktop

Instructions for getting started with EndNote desktop software

Manually Entering a New Reference

  1. Select References → New Reference or Ctrl+N
  2. Select the Reference Type from the drop-down menu at the top

  4. Close Reference

Organizations as Author Names

When a reference lists a company or organization as the author, enter the name of the company followed by a comma.  
For example: 
University of Hawaii,

If a company or organization name contains a comma, enter the name as it appears, but use two commas instead of one.  
For example: 
University of California,,Berkeley

You do not need to enter "Anonymous" when a reference has no author - EndNote will format the reference according to the style you use.

When a work has multiple authors, you do not need to enter "et al." into the reference.  However, if you only know a portion of the authors, enter "et al." followed by a comma, as the last author in the reference.
