You can add a reference to your Library by typing it in. Here are some tips:
To add a reference manually, open your library, then select
New Reference

Reference Type
. The default is Journal Article, but other choices in the pull-downmenu include Book Section (used for book chapters) and Thesis. When you change Reference Types, EndNote
automatically prompts you for fields needed for that type (editors’ names, chapter authors’ names, etc.).
In general, you don’t need to use any punctuation when entering (some exceptions are listed below).
Authors’ names
are the trickiest details to add:
o
Authors must be entered one per line, so press
Enter
after each author’s name.
