A Note about Citing with EndNote

When using a citation generator to create your references, it is important to proofread your citations for proper formatting. This is true for citations generated by EndNote. Remember that whatever style you use, it is important to be consistent with all aspects of formatting your paper, in-text citations, and bibliography.
