Reference styles for electronic resources

• Several different styles
• Corporate author/ anonymous
• Data needs to be correctly input into the correct EndNote attributes (field) in order for the formatting styles to be able to work correctly.
• 
  
• Steps to watch out
• Automatic (check database website and APA manual)
  
• Filter (correct filter from Quosa, Pubmed or specific database)
• Style (APA...etc. make sure it's the most updated and correct one)
• Adding manually (check Endnote help files)
  
• Reference type
• Input field and format
• Author Field:
  Enter author and editor names one name per line. If a name is too long to fit on one line, just continue typing—the text will wrap automatically.
• Press after each author name to add another author.
• You can enter author names as (e.g., Fred Smith) OR (e.g., Smith, Fred). Entering in the format is preferable because it will enable EndNote to “auto-complete” a name for you if you have entered that name before
• Authors with titles such as “Jr.” or “III” should be entered in this format: (e.g., Smith, Fred, Jr.).
• For corporate authors, enter a comma after the name of the organization (e.g., U.S. Department of Energy,). This will ensure that EndNote interprets the corporate author as a last name and alphabetizes it properly.
• If you do not know the author’s name, leave the Author field blank (do not type Anonymous, unless Anonymous is printed on the title page of the work).
• For multiple authors, enter all of the author names. If a bibliographic format requires the use of “et al.” or “and others,” EndNote will format this automatically. Only enter “et al.” if you
  do not know all of the author names.
• Year Field: Use four digits.
• Title Field:
  Enter titles on one line, even if they are very long. If a title is too long to fit on one line, just continue typing—the text will wrap automatically.
• Do not add a period or other punctuation at the end of a title. EndNote will add formatting punctuation to your references automatically depending on the output style you’ve chosen.
• Pages Field: You can enter page ranges as full (e.g., 1654-1658) or abbreviated (e.g., 1654-8).
• EndNote will format these properly depending on the output style you’ve chosen.
