Tips

Things to note about EndNote Citations

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

•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.

Adding Web Pages with Corporate Authors

•Remember to add a comma after the corporate author name or EndNote will format as Lastname, Firstname
