Using abbreviated journal titles
 The ACS no title style uses abbreviated
journal titles but Endnote doesn’t know
what these are.
 You need to import a journal titles list
which includes all the ACS standard
abbreviations in order for your
references to display properly.

Using abbreviated journal titles
 The ACS and ACS – no title styles will
automatically use the abbreviated
journal title if it is available.
 If you already have references in Word
documents using ACS or ACS-no title, you
will need to use the ‘update citations and
bibliography’ function from within Word
for the abbreviated titles to appear.
