Go to the top bar > references > new reference (CTRL+N)
Or click on the Button + (add new reference to group)
An empty Reference window appears in which citation data can be entered by hand.
TIP: a quick way to add journal articles manually is to add the doi in the specific field. Close the window and save. Then right click on the reference and choose: References > Find Reference Updates.
Edit the (new) reference manually
New references appear as Journal Article, the default setting. Select the appropriate reference type from the drop-down menu, and enter data into fields as described below. Not all fields have to be used. Use the Enter key to begin a new line in the same field; use the Tab key to jump to the next field.
1. Guidelines for adding authors
| Field | How to | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Author name | lastname, firstname is recommended. Use periods after initials or a space between initials |
Smith, A. A. |
| Complex author names | Enter multiple authors on separate lines. See example | de Gaulle, Charles Smith, Alfred, Jr. |
| Multiple authors | Include as many authors as known on separate lines. If all authors are not known, enter et al. or and others as the last author name, followed by a comma. | Smit AA et al. |
| Corporate authors | Name organization with a following comma. This prevents EndNote from inverting the name. | World Health Organization, |
| More corporate authors | Enter two commas between organizations and none at the end | World Health Organization,, OECD |
