EndNote

Reference Fields

• Multiple Authors: Multiple authors must be added ONE author per line.

  Smith, J T (A space is required between two initials to render names properly in JAMA style)
  Jane Jones (EndNote will render a full name [entered: First Last] in the correct JAMA style)

• Organization as Author: Organization & corporate names in the Author Field must end with a comma "," so EndNote knows that it is an organization. Otherwise EndNote will treat the organization's name like the full author's name discussed above.

  YES: Centers for Disease Control, >> Centers for Disease Control
  NO: Centers for Disease Control >> Control, CFD

• Title: JAMA style requires citation titles to be entered in Sentence Case. In Sentence Case only the first word of a title, proper names or acronyms, and the first word after a colon or semi-colon should be capitalized.
