How do I make EndNote display an organisation as an author in Word?

EndNote interprets part of the organisation’s name as a family name and you might find that the reference or citation is formatted incorrectly in Word.  For example: 

 

United Nations may look like Nations, U. 

 

For the reference to display correctly, you must put a comma at the end of the organisation’s name in the author field in EndNote, for example: 

 

United Nations, 

 

  • Go to EndNote 

  • Select the reference 

  • In the right-hand pane, select Edit 

  • In the author field, put a comma at the end of the organisation’s name  

  • Click Save 

 

To reflect this change, return to the Word document and click on Update Citations and Bibliography.
