Dear Elloh,
short answer: no problem.
Detailed answer: usually, citations in larger documents are inserted by
selecting the right entry from a BibTeX database. You can download
existing databases for certain subfields of science, or collect existing
database entries through a web search (paper title + "bibtex").
What citations end up looking like in the final document is customized
by selecting a citation style for BibTeX. This means that like with
almost any customization, you can do almost anything possible with LyX
(and LaTeX): You can change between individual numbers and ranges, or
even alphabetical citations (XY09, XY10a, etc.), simply by changing the
style.
The choice is usually given by the publisher, but you're free to choose
one out of dozens of possible styles if the choice is up to you.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a LyX user:
Please I would like to have a clarification on this
pressing issue of mine.
I have attached two files depicting two categories of
citations. I named them as type-one-citation and
type-two-citation.
In some processors there is no way one can make a range
citation as shown in the second and third citations in
the file ''type-one-citation'' when your document is
printed. Rather it appears as shown in the second and
third citations in the file ''type-two-citation'' when
your document is printed.
I would like to know if provisions are made in LyX
to make range citations as in the second
and third citations in the file ''type-one-citation'' when
your document is printed ?
If yes, where can I find it in LyX ?
Hope to hearing from you soon.
Thanks.
Best regards.
Van Wellington Elloh
