EndNote 2025

Edit references in EndNote

Edit a reference in the EndNote Library:

  • Click on the reference you want to edit
  • Click in the right window on Edit (greyish next to Summary)
  • Scroll down to change information in any field 
  • Click on Save or on the X in the top right corner of the Reference Box. 

 

 

 

A common edit you will need to make is if you have any corporate authors, that is authors that are organizations. To make their names display properly, you need to edit the record in your EndNote library to add a comma at the end of the organization's name. 

Another occasion could be complex family names like 'Tom Bombadill of the Old Forest'. These should be followed by a comma as well.

For example: World Health Organization,

To do this in batch (when having to deal with many corporate authors):

Use: Top Bar > Library  > Find and Replace... (or use CTRL-R)
