No problem. The bibliography handling is one of LaTeX's/LyX's strengths. You should use BibTeX (the database based bibliography mechanism) and natbib. For the Layout, you have to find an appropriate bibtex style file (bst file) or create your own with "latex makebst" (which is very straightforward). Have a look at the LyX docs on how to deal with BibTeX. For the citation database, I'd recommend a BibTeX frontend like, e.g., pybliographic. > I'm still using Lyx 1.3.2, so I'm not sure if this format is available in > newer versions.

Chose Layout->Document->Extras (or "Bibliography", if you use the qt version) and then "use Natbib". In the citation dialog, you can chose form different styles of the references in the text.
