The accuracy of the references you import into EndNote is only as good as the information in the databases you took them from. Therefore, always double check your references.
Just right click on the citation you'd like to edit, and select Edit Reference.
Some things to watch out for:
EndNote allows you to organize your library into Groups (which basically work like tags or folders). For instance, if you wanted to make a Group of records for a paper you want to submit to Nature, you would follow these instructions. You can also create smart groups, which populates a group based on a certain characteristic (such as author name, year, or other field).
1. Right click on My Groups in the left hand column, choose Create Group, and give it a meaningful name (e.g., Nature 2012)
2. To add records to this group, right click on the ones you want, select Add References to..., and choose the Group you just created.
