Adding references manually
You may need to add a reference manually to your EndNote library if the source is only available in print or online direct export is not available. It is also useful to understand manual entry so that you can edit your entries.
-
Select the Reference Type from the drop-down menu at the top of the screen (the default is Journal Article).
-
Different reference types display different fields.
-
You only need to fill-in the fields required by your referencing style.
-
Fields such as abstract, notes, keywords, label are for your benefit and will not appear in the bibliography you generate.
-
Use capitalisation as recommended by the referencing style you prefer.
