Hello lyx-users, I'm trying to use the elsevier-harv bibtex style for the preparation of in a elsevier journal article. The problem: I cannot have a reference style compliant to what requested by the journal IN THE TEXT instead of having citations like (author, year), I get things like (author, [number]), (no way to have authors together with years changing citation styles !!!) IN REFERENCES I cannot get rid of numbers [n] before references... On the Elsevier site (http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/authorsview.authors/elsart) they write that the class specifications are: -------------------------------- BibTeX style files We have developed two BibTeX style files for journal articles: * BibTeX style file elsart-harv.bst for articles with Harvard style (author-year) references. When you use this style file, you should also use the natbib package. * BibTeX style file elsart-num.bst for articles with numbered references. * BibTeX style file elsart-num-sort.bst for articles with numbered alphabetically sorted references. * BibTeX style file elsart-num-names.bst for articles with numbered references with a name-year label. -------------------------------- For the Journal I'm interested in the first style (elsart-harv) should be used.
I'm using Lyx 1.6 with MikTex2.7. I have used: Document > Settings > Document Class set to "article (Elsevier)" Document > Settings > Bibliography set to "NatBib" with Natbib style: Author-year In the document (Insert > List - TOC > Bibtex Bibliography): i pointed to a .bib file generated with JabRef 2.4.2 that begins: -------------------------------- % This file was created with JabRef 2.4.2. % Encoding: Cp1252 @BOOK{Blakely(1995), title = {Potential theory in gravity and magnetic applications}, publisher = {Cambridge Univ. Press, New York}, year = {1995}, author = {Blakely, R.J.}, owner = {Roberto}, timestamp = {2009.02.06} } @ARTICLE{Chakravarthi(2002), author = {V. Chakravarthi and H.M. Raghuram and S.B. Singh}, title = {3-D forward gravity modeling above which the density contrast varies continuously with depth}, journal = {Computers \& Geosciences}, year = {2002}, volume = {22}, pages = {53-57}, owner = {Roberto}, timestamp = {2009.02.06} } ... -------------------------------- and so on (authors and year are specified for each record) in the text (Insert > Citation...): I tried all of the styles with no luck. It seems to me that there is no problem in the .bib file because I got the right citation style using a different class (apa) with natbib author-style and apa, apacite reference styles. I'm new to Lyx and maybe something is wrong with my installation, i noticed a lot of unavailable classes in document settings class. What I'm doing wrong? Please Help Thanks in advance Best regards, Roberto
