Endnote X5 Referencing an Institution as an Author in APA 6th

EndNote EndNote How To
1

I am trying to reference the webpage of a University in APA 6th (e.g. University of Chicago, 2011), and I find that Endnote X5 is converting the author in the bibliography to Chicago, U. O. , and the in-text reference is (Chicago, 2011). 

Can somebody help me?

Thanks

Martin

To distinguish organizational names from people, add a comma to the organization in the Author field:

University of Chicago,

Thanks! It works a treat!

One thing to also keep in mind is if the author name itself has a comma in it, use two commas in place of the first comma:

California, Irvine

This will print correctly.

Thanks,

thank you for the suggestion, however when I add a comma in the author field

e.g. University of Chicaco,

I get an unwanted period in the reference list:

University of Chicago. (2010). XXXX

how can I avoid this/get rid of the period?

thank you!

PS. endnote apparently “misses” the Institution’s given name which I have set to be abbreviated in the output style settings:

e.g. Stern, Paul

is presented in the list as

Stern, P. (2010)

that did the trick! thank you.
