FAQ
Entering author names
Use the EndNote Help for advice on entering your references, eg, Help > Search for Help on… > type in Entering Author and Editor names > click Display:
- Author and editor names must be entered one name per line.
- Author names can be entered either with the last name followed by a comma and the first name, or the first name followed by the last name
- EndNote can abbreviate first and middle names, so for maximum flexibility enter whole names whenever possible. If you are entering initials instead of full names, be sure to type a full stop or a space between initials, (for example "Fisher, J.O." or "J O Fisher"), otherwise EndNote interprets the initials as a single name: "Jo."
- Enter all author names for a particular reference. EndNote will truncate the list of authors with "et al." or "and others" as required by the bibliographic style.
- When entering Corporate authors put a comma after the name. If the corporate author has a comma within its name, eg. Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Natural resources, then replace the single comma, within the name, with two commas, ie.
Faculty of Agriculture,, Food and Natural resources,
