I use LyX 2.2.2 on 64 bits Windows 10. Should probably upgrade to the latest
LyX, but then again my set-up mostly works.
I'm using JabRef to handle BibTeX, and struggle to correctly handle authors "Arthur
E. Bryson, Jr. and Yu-Chi Ho". I use a Harvard reference style.
What is the correct way to write the author name in the author field of
BibTeX/JabRef? I have tried with:
"Arthur E. {Bryson, Jr.} and Yu-Chi Ho" -- which leads to "Bryson, Jr., A.E., & Ho, Y.-Ch." In the typeset bibliography list.
Perhaps ok (although I'd like "and" instead of "&" -- "&" looks too much like "Donald Duck & Co"...)
However, in LyX, this pops up as "Arthur E. Bryson and Ho (1975)". If I skip the comma in
the braces ({Bryson, Jr.} --> {Bryson Jr.}), it appears as "Jr. and Ho (1975)" in LyX...

So -- what is the "correct" way to handle such a slightly complicated name?

Have you tried to mouse-click on the author field and select
/normalize to BibTex name format/
? You might also choose a different style file. Tell us, how you would
like to have your citation.

which boils down to
If a name has "Junior" component (and no "von" component), it needs to
be entered as |SurnameComponent, JuniorComponent, FirstNameComponent|.
Note that there are now two commas, not one. This is a BibTeX syntax
rule that's independent of the bibliography style you employ.
Hence, you need to enter the second author's name as |Bassett, Jr.,
Gilbert|.
