I am not sure I remember where/when it told you the number of references cited. You can get that information if you Edit citation. It tells you the number of references in the ‘travelling’ library. The last time I remember getting such an obvious number was using the format paper command… way back.
Finally, you could choose to format the paper in a number format and that would tell you too.
This problem just about drove me mad. So when I discovered the solution I thought I had to share. Go to Tools > Open Terms List > Author’s Term’s List
Hit the tab named “Lists”
Select Authors. Under Delimiters the “,” box is likely checked. This is the problem. When endnote sees your author name in your file named Smith, J.S. it thinks J.S. is another author, because the comma is set to divide authors from each other.
The solution is to delete the “Authors” list and replace it with a new list with the same name “Authors”. In the new list make sure the “,” is not checked. Using the “;” or the “” is okay though.

I don’t think delimiters other than comma can be used for author entry. Delimiters for Author List are greyed out and non-editable. These delimiters, like tab, dash, and semi-colon, are delimiters for the custom term lists such that multiple terms are entered in a single line.
Endnote author format (for the data entry) has been very specific and fixed: (Surname), Initials of given name with space between. So, it should look like Smith, A. G.
Anything before the first comma is regarded as surname, and anything after the first comma is regarded as given name.
A G Smith is also acceptable entry format, but most of the import filters parse authors with Smith, A. G. format. Also, each author needs to be on separate line. If you have multiple authors in one line, it will not interpret correctly.
I’m not sure how the initial post ended up Smith & J (two authors).
