Lecture 1 EndNote - Avondale



EndNote

EndNote is software for managing citations and references in academic publications. Avondale College staff use APA 6th, Harvard, MLA, and Turabian styles

Step 1 Creating a Library when you first use EndNote

Reference information is stored in a file called a library. Users may create as many libraries as they like. Library files have the extension .enl.

• Open a Word document and open EndNote

• Click on File

• Then click New

[pic]

• Give your library a name in File Name

• Choose where you want to store it in Save in (ie under My Documents on your laptop or your student number file on the Avondale computers)

• Click Save

IMPORTANT Once you have created your library, you will not need to create another one unless you want more than one library. It is recommended to have just one library. From now on, when you open EndNote, you will go

File – Open then click on your library name to open your existing library.

• When you first open your library, choose your style (eg APA 6th or Turabian Bibliography) by clicking select another file and then choosing your style. All references will now be saved in the style chosen. You will not need to do this again as your option will be saved.

Step 2 Adding a New Reference

• In EndNote, click on the green plus sign New Reference

• Select Reference Type (from the drop-down list – Book, Journal article etc)

• Type in details ie Author, Title etc. Refer to the notes below for guidance in what fields to use for each reference type.

• Click the red or black cross and the reference will be saved and added to your library

• You can create Groups for sorting your references. Right click on My Groups and create as many groups as needed.

NOTE You are also able to automatically add references from books in the Avondale College library catalogue or from the Avondale College databases. Refer to p. 4 for instructions on downloading references from the catalogue and databases.

Required Fields for Publications

More fields are given than are actually required for a complete reference. Some of the fields are useful – for example you can add notes to the entry to remind you why you included it in the reference database. The list below shows the format and fields for the 5 most commonly used publications types. When you are entering information into the database you should try to fill most of the fields listed for each type.

Journal Article: Author. (Year). Title. Journal, Volume(Issue), Pages.

Book: Author. (Year). Title. City: Publisher.

Conference Proceedings: Author. (Year of Conference, Date). Title. Paper presented at the Conference Name, Conference Location|.

Magazine Article: Author. (Year, Date). Title. Magazine, Volume, Pages.

Electronic Source: Author. (Year, Last Update Date). Title. Series Title  Edition. Retrieved Access Date, Access Year, from URL

Step 3 Adding Citations to a Paper

Once you have added all your references to your library, you are able to use them in your assignment.

• Open your assignment and position your cursor at the place where you wish to add a citation

• Open EndNote

• Highlight the item from which you want to quote (just one click)

• Return to your word document.

• Click Insert Selected Citation

• Your citation will now be in front of your cursor and a bibliographic reference appears at the end of your document for your bibliography.

Example

Citation (Fisher, 2008)

Bibliography

Fisher, C. (2008). Fishing as a hobby. Sydney: ABC.

IMPORTANT note when using Turabian style

If you are using the Turabian style, you will need to insert a footnote each time you want to add a reference.

In Word, go to References – Footnote THEN insert your reference from EndNote as in the instructions above. You will need to do this each time you wish to add a footnote.

Groups

• Once you have a number of references in your library you can sort them into the groups you have created. Just drag and drop them into the various groups. The original reference stays in the main library and a count is kept of your “unfiled” references.

Notes for Entering Data

Author and Editor Names

Always enter author and editor names one name per line. If an author’s name is too long to fit on a single line, let it wrap to the next line as you type it. Author names can be entered either with the last name followed by a comma and the first name, or the first name followed by the last name. Both are correct.

If you are entering initials instead of full names, be sure to type a period or a space between initials, (for example Fisher, J.O.” or “J O Fisher”), otherwise EndNote puts initials as a single name: “Jo.”

Using “et al.” or Similar Abbreviations

Enter all author names for a particular reference. EndNote will enter the list of authors with “et al.” or “and others” as required by the bibliographic style. If you do not know all of the authors’ names, then the last author should be “et al.” or “and others” followed by a comma.

Anonymous Works

If a reference has no author, you should leave the Author field blank. Do not enter “Anonymous.”

If a work is published with “Anonymous” printed on the title page, then enter “Anonymous” as the author

Corporate Authors

When entering corporate authors, put a comma after the name:

 U.S. Department of Agriculture,

 Apple Computer Inc.,

Do not use commas within the name, as all text before the comma is interpreted as a last name.

Complex Author Names

For multiple-word last names, like Charles de Gaulle, enter the name with the last name first,eg:

de Gaulle, Charles

Enter authors with titles, such as “Jr.” or “III”, as Last, First, Title. For example, “Alfred Smith Jr.”

Smith, Alfred, Jr.

Dates

Enter dates as you want them to appear in the final reference. EndNote does not reformat dates.

Page numbers

Page numbers are entered without “p” or “pp” eg 345 – 348

Edition numbers

Edition numbers are entered in full eg 3rd not 3
