Selecting the Appropriate Reference Type

You can insert a graphic or file into the Figure field of an EndNote reference. Depending on the reference type, the field may be labeled "Figure" or have a custom label assigned by you.

By default, the Figure and Caption fields are included in all reference types. So, while a reference to a journal may contain primarily bibliographic information, you can also include an illustration that appeared with the journal article.

The Figure, Chart or Table, and Equation reference types can be used specifically to catalog images and files, and may contain minimal reference information.

Note: Figures in the "Chart or Table" reference type are inserted into Word as tables, and are labeled and numbered separately from the figures found in all other reference types.

To add or remove the Figure and Caption fields from a reference type, go to the EndNote Edit menu, select Preferences, and select Reference Types. For more information about modifying reference types, see Customizing the Reference Types.
