Unsubmission with Endnote style
If you ever submit a manuscript to Molecular Physics, do not use the Endnote style as provided by Thomson-Reuters (http://endnote.com/downloads/style/molecular-physics)!!!
Instead of placing references in brackets [1], the standard Endnote style does so in superscript2 (and without brackets). Moreover, it not only does so in the text, but also in the reference list.. :-(
(further minor issues: grouping together of references, author names as entered and not by initials)
Because of using this Style, and not checking if it was correct (my mistake!), today our manuscript [3] was "unsubmitted" so I could redo the references and re-submit. Normally, a journal would simply ask for a (technical) revision, but this was the first time a manuscript was "unsubmitted".. Curious.
PS. After doing the revision of the references, it was accepted within the hour. :-)
If you need a better version of the Endnote Style for Molecular Physics, I've put it on my website (note, use the Shift+Click to Save As..). Please note that I'm not claiming it's perfect yet; simply, it corrects the glitches mentioned above.
PS. Of course, this is probably not limited to Mol. Phys. only, but also other journal styles need to be checked before submission!!
