Here's a point for discussion that I haven't noticed dealt with in this
Forum before:

What is the best way for EndNote to handle publications that are submitted,
in press, in preparation, etc.

If one enters, say, "submitted" in the year field it looks kind of ugly on
the screen and leaves a bunch of extra punctuation on a formatted document
(at the end where the volume, issue, pages, would be). In principle, one
could design styles that wouldn't leave the punction by using all those
||||| marks. But I have found that to be an awkward and unreliable
procedure (and don't have hours to spare in trial and error.)

Sometimes it seems better to put in the expected publication year, and then
enter "in press" or "in prep" or whatever in either the volume or page
fields. For example, this helps getting a consistant sorting for a personal
publication list. Still, the result is somewhat awkward.

Surely, some folks must have ideas on how to finesse this issue.
