Reference 

Type list

New references appear as journal articles (unless you change the 

default setting) but can be changed to any other type of reference 

using the Reference Type list at the top of the Reference window. 

For this example, create a Book reference. 

2. Click the Reference Type list and choose Book.

Reference 

Type set 

You are now ready to enter reference information, beginning with 

the author names. Author names can be entered two ways: either 

 First Middle Last  such as  Carol Margaret Jacobson  or  Last, 

First Middle  such as  Jacobson, Carol Margaret.  Individual 

author names must be entered one per line.

3. With the cursor in the Author field, type:

Jacobson, Carol 

As you type, EndNote will suggest names similar to the one you are 

entering. This is EndNote's way of using term lists to facilitate the 

process of entering new references.
