The problem that Hanson ran into is a common one, which I have commented
on here
in the past. It would be really nice if there was a simple way to
automate the solution so that new users will
not need to come to this list again (some users do not know that it
exists) to find out
how to solve this problem (of generating a Latex file that is acceptable
to journals, with all
the references included in the .tex file).

Thanks Stefano,
It worked, but I now have another problem. The Springer web site has
accepted the .tex file that you helped me create, but when I look at the
contents of that file on their web site (in order to give it my "Final
Approval") the references do not show up. (There's no list of references at
the end of my paper, and all the little reference items in the text or the
paper appear as [?], rather than as [7], etc.) I suppose this is because the
references are in a "BibTeX Generated Bibliography", as it says at the end
of my .lyx file. How do I get that to Springer so that the two files will
work together to make the references to appear as they should?
Ahh, that's trickier. You need to run latex and then bibtex on your
file (assuming you're using bibtex, instead of its later replacements
like biblatex and stuff). After you've done that, you'll find a file
with extension .bbl.
Append the content of that file to your tex file and you're in
business. You can even do insert everything into you lyx file as
explained here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/AcmSigplan (look at the
"Including bibliography entries in LyX file" section).
Notice, however, that Springer usually accepts submissions as .tex +
.bib files. I am not familiar with Philosophical Studies (in spite of
being a philosopher), but Springer's instructions are usually very
clear. Perhaps they want you to to combine the .tex and .bib file into
a zipped archive?
Cheers,
Stefano
