Well, there will be times when you just cannot find that reference you want anywhere. In that case, you will need to manually create a reference. You can do that by going to "References", "New Reference". Now we need to pick a reference type here. It defaults to "Journal Article", but you can choose anything appropriate for your reference from this list. A key thing to remember here is of course accuracy. We all tend to make mistakes when we type, so it is a good idea to check and double-check. The "Author" field requires some special attention here. It is important to know that EndNote expects names in certain formats. For example, "John Smith" will be parsed as first name "John" and last name "Smith". And "John David Smith" will be parsed as first name "John", middle name "David", and last name "Smith". These are easy, but if the name is complicated or ambiguous, you can enter the name in the "last name, first name middle name" format to tell EndNote which is the last name. So "Smith, John" will be the same as "John Smith" to EndNote. This comes especially handy if the author is an organization instead of a human. If you just type "American Heart Association", EndNote will think that "Association" is the last name, "American" is the first name, and "Heart" is the middle name, so your bibliography entry for this reference could become "Association AH" (or something like that depending on the style). To avoid that, you can force EndNote to treat "American Heart Association" as the last name by appending a comma at the end. Like so. As you can see, EndNote tries to help you minimize name inconsistencies by color-coding names. You'll notice that some names I entered are red, which means this is the first time this name appears in my library. If I start typing a name, EndNote tries to auto-complete the name using existing names in my library that match those beginning letters. One type of reference that typically requires a lot of manual entry is web pages. If you want to cite a web page, chances are you're going to have to manually create the reference. So let me show you how. Again, I am going to "References", and then "New Reference". I will pull down the reference type, and choose "Web Page". Let's say we are creating a reference for this CDC page. In the author field, I'm going to put in "Centers for Disease Control and Prevention", with a comma at the end. "Centers for Disease Control and Prevention", with a comma at the end. Title of the page would be "About Zika Virus Disease". Year would be "2016", as indicated at the bottom of the page here. Place of publication would be "Atlanta, GA", as indicated at the bottom of the page. Publisher in this case would be the same as the author, so it is the "Centers for Disease Control and Prevention". Because the publisher field is not a name field, you should not put a comma at the end. Otherwise the comma will be displayed in any bibliography entries. Access year is required for most styles. This is the year when you accessed the page, so I'll just say "2016". The same is for access date, except that you only need to specify the month and the day, so "April 18th". URL is a required field, so I'm just going to copy the URL of the web page here. These are the bare minimum information you will need to create a web page reference manually in EndNote. I'm going to save it, and there you go. reference manually in EndNote. I'm going to save it, and there you go.
