Use my own citation citation in EndNote

I have several citations I need to insert, but there is no style for them really. I want to create a new reference in EndNote and just paste the citation in EN, just how it is. I don’t want to fiddle with which field is where. Becaues I’m using EndNote for other citation, I need to be able to do this.

The OP didn’t follow up with his question, but mine is the very same as his.

The situation is as follows:

When I let EndNote to create my bibliographies it starts linking every citation (located within the text body) with its respective bibliography (at the reference section). When I tried to insert my own citation and reference data, and for whatever reason I clicked “Update Citations and Bibliography” button, it swept out everything I had written. It denies the information the user put.

I know there must be a way to avoid this, but I just couldn’t figure out. Of course I can avoid clicking the “Update” button, but I want to be able to update the sections, just in case some new form of citation appears and… whatever.

Thanks in advance!

Unclear what you mean by “I tried to insert my own citation and reference data”. If you’re inserting a citation without first creating a corresponding EndNote record then clicking “Update Citations and Bibliography” will erase the citation. Also note that once the EndNote record is created the in-text citation can be inserted into the document using EndNote's “Insert Citation” function.

 

If not please provide the name of the output style you’re using and further explanation.

Please how do I arrange this  citation in Endnote 9.0 given from (Pie 1982; Abraham 2003; Carter 2009) to (Carter 2009; Abraham 2003; Pie 1982) in in-text brackets.

Thank you.

I don’t know how to start a conversation, so I used the reply instead.

Thank you.
