Tips

Authors

  • Last name, initial(s) or first name, ie.:
    Bos, Anton
    Bos, Anton B.
    Bos, A. B.
  • In the case of multiple authors, enter each author on a new line
  • In the case of multipart surnames with prefixes like de and van:
    - Vancouver: van den Bos, J.
    - APA: Van den Bos, J.
      (the first prefix of all authors should be capitalized)
  • To distinguish organizational names from people, add a comma to the organization in the Author field:
    University of Chicago,

Title

  • In the case of a subtitle: insert a colon after the title and add a space
    - Vancouver: subtitle starts with a lowercase letter
    - APA: Subtitle starts with an uppercase letter

Place published* 

  • If unknown: [s.l.]

Publisher

  • If unknown: [s.n.]

Edition

  • Don't add ed. or edition, EndNote will do this for you. Use:
    2nd
    3rd
    4th revised

* Place published is no longer a mandatory field within APA. It is recommended to fill it in anyway, should you wish to change styles.
