I am not sure that it is appropriate to cite LyX under normal circumstances. After all, if we cite LyX, we could cite LaTeX as well, and come to think of it my TCP/IP stack is also a important part of my workflow when writing and submitting papers. I could probably make a case for citing most of the 2448 packages that are listed by "dpkg -l", but then it would be hard to fit within the page limit. I would say that it is only appropriate the cite software if you really really want to, or if it helps the reader reproduce your experiments e.g. "The following code was written in R (cite)". -- John C.
