(i.e., editor, translator, compiler, director), you will need to enter a description of the
primary contributor's role in the Role field.
The names of individuals or organizations entered as authors should always be entered as they appear on the title page of the resource work. Enter the full names -- Citation will truncate names to initials when the publishing style you select requires initials rather than full names. Always enter the last name first, followed by a comma, a space, and then the first name. If more than one individual is listed on the title page, enter all of the names, and separate the names of individuals with a semi-colon. Midden, James R.; Murray, Alfred T.; Woods, John PhillipWhen you write citations with a publishing style, Citation will convert the names to conform to the requirements of that publishing style. If you choose the Am Medical Assoc publishing style, for instance, Citation would truncate the first names to initials, and correct the punctuation for that style: Midden JR, Murray AT, Woods JPIf you are keeping a large datafile, you can display a list of all the authors, editors, and translators in your datafile by clicking on the list button in the Author field.

A description of a resource work that needs to be included in a citation
in order for the source work to be properly identified. A few examples
of this type of descriptor: editorial, comment, preface, report, interview.
Descriptors are often used when the resource work does not have a unique title assigned to it, as in the case of maps, task force reports, manuscript collections, letters, editorials. There are several types of titled works, however, which may require a descriptor, such as reports, legislative materials, titled interviews. In many cases, the descriptor is a report's identifying number, or a description of a resource type that is out of the ordinary (e.g., map, letter, chart, figure, report, paper collection, notebook). For information on entering descriptors in Citation records, see the Guide for Entering Bibliographic Data and the Citation Style Guide.
The editor(s) of the book, monograph, or collection.

For information on entering journal names in Citation records, see the Guide for Entering Bibliographic Data and the Citation Style Guide. If you regularly use a citation style that requires journal abbreviations, see the Abbreviations topic.
Keywords are indexing or cross-referencing terms which tag works in your
datafile as containing material on a particular subject, or that you perhaps
use in a course bibliography. You will be able to use Select to retrieve groups
or subsets of records cross-referenced with the same keywords. (See the
section on the Select feature for details on retrieving subsets of records
with the same keywords.)
You can enter as many keywords as you need for each record. Separate keywords with a semi-colon and a space: popular culture; Twain, Mark; biographical studies; psychology; d-f-s; delusionsOnce you have entered several records with keywords, you may want to use the Keyword List Button. The Keyword list button displays an alphabetized list of keywords you have used in your records. Clicking on a keyword in the list box inserts it into the Keywords field. You can load keywords to your datafile from a textfile, and write out an alphabetized listing of all the keywords in your datafile. See the Keywords help topic for more information.
