Single authors

For single authors, use the ‘First Name Surname’ or ‘Surname, First Initial’ formats.  For example:

  • Moira Bent
  • Bent, M.

Multiple authors

Multiple authors need to be entered on separate lines within the Author field in your EndNote library. For example:

  • Robinson, J.
  • Blanchett, H.

Multiple authors on the same line will be treated as one author name and display incorrectly in Word. Separate them using the Enter/Return key.

Organisations or official bodies as authors

To make sure EndNote displays these properly, make sure you enter a comma after the organisation/official body in the Author field:

Newcastle United Football Club,

Without a comma, EndNote will try and display this in the author, initial format: Club, N. U. F.
