Thank you all for your answers, they have been of great help. Still, the main technical question, the how do I do it in BibTeX, remains unanswered. Is there a "Note" or "Previously Published" field in BibTeX? How do I solve this problem using the available fields?
P.S.: I know this kind of questions is a little "off topic" for this list, but guys should be proud of how helpful you arem not only with LyX, but with the whole LaTeX package. ------------------------------------------------- Julio Rojas [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 8:24 PM, rgheck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > killermike wrote: >> >> Julio Rojas wrote: >>> >>> Hi, does anyone know hot to handle reprinted material using Bibtex?
