Try to enter {the name of the author} in brackets, as in the following
example. This should ensure that the output in your reference section
and throughout the text will be in the desired format.

@Article{BMJ56,
  Author         = {{British Medical Journal}},

Whereas this 

@Article{BMJ56,
  Author         = {British Medical Journal},

produces the effect you have described. Depending on your bibtex data
management application this might not need to done in code, but could
possibly be achieved in via an interface, or even automatically by the
application itself.

LyX is perfectly fine for social scientists and in conjunction with a
reasonable bibtext application pre-deadline problems might
be even further reducible :-)
