This may involve editing after you have imported records (references) from databases.

If you use keywords or labels, be sure that you standardise them.The Label, Keywords, and Notes fields are very useful in conjunction with the Search Panel, for finding and sorting references.You do not have to enter information into every field.

Suggestions for entering data in some other fields: Tip: To ensure that organisation names are treated correctly, place a comma after the entire name, as in the final example above for World Health Organization (WHO). In the following examples, the interpreted surname is italicised and bold. When a comma is used to separate names, EndNote X9 will take everything prior to the comma to be a surname.If an author is entered without a comma between names, EndNote X9 will interpret the last word to be the surname.To enter multiple authors, place each author's name on a new line by pressing Enter after each addition. New references will default to Journal Article but can easily be changed by choosing the appropriate format from the drop-down list. Tip: Don’t forget to select your reference type. This saves the information and assigns a unique reference number. Close the reference window by selecting the lower cross in the top right hand corner (or Ctrl+S).Enter publication details in the appropriate fields.Select the Reference Type from the drop-down list (e.g. website or book).Select New Reference from the References menu, or select the New Reference icon on the toolbar.

For websites and some print sources, such as books and government documents, manual creation of records can be required. Most records for journal articles and digital resources will be available for download from an online source.
