Tips

EndNote Citations Common Errors•Multiple authors

•Can put in first, last order or last, first•Use separate line for each author

•Organizations as authors•Very frequent with websites: type in organization name, then add comma. This prevents Duquesne University being listed as D. University or University, D.

Multiple Authors•Use separate line for each author•Last name, first name

•Smith, John•First name, last name

•John Smith

Adding References with Multiple Authors

Note eachauthor on new line

Adding Web Pages with Corporate Authors

•Add comma after corporate name to make it display properly
