Hi,
I am using the document class REVTeX4 to write an article and JabRef to
write my references. JabRef writes bitex code that I can insert into
lyx. I have been using apsrev as the style to insert my references which
seems fine, except the second initials of authors never seem to come out
right. For example:
@ARTICLE{PRL,
author = {J.C. Brookes and F. Hartoutsiou and A.P. Horsfield and A.M.
Stoneham},
title = {Could humans recognize odor by phonon assisted tunneling?},
journal = {Physics Review Letters},
year = {2007},
volume = {98},
pages = {038101},
owner = {Jennifer},
timestamp = {2007.04.14}
}
....in the .bib file, put when I export my document to .pdf I get:
[1] J.C Brookes and F. Hartoutsiou and A. Horsfield and A. Stoneham
where the P and M are missing. If I try something like plainnat as the
style, there is no problem, i.e.
[1] J.C. Brookes and F. Hartoutsiou and A.P. Horsfield and A.M. Stoneham
Except the sorting of the numbers goes all haywire and they appear
alphabetically not numerically.
Please can anyone help?
Many thanks
Jenny
Try putting a space between first and middle initial in the .bib
entries. I think that BibTeX (or at least the apsrev style) interprets
"A.P." as a first name and abbreviates it as "A." I'm not sure why it
would not do that with "J.C." -- it's consistent about reducing two
initials without an intervening space to one on a test document of mine,
including the first author.
Cheers,
Paul
