Hi Ananda, I am in the Humanities as well (Philosophy) and I'd recommend using biblatex, with biber as a backend (it is a necessity if you want to use unicode for your bibtex files' encodings. And you usually want to, as it make life much easier). As for styles: biblatex's standard styles can be customized (relatively) easily to achieve what you indicated in your message. Look at the author-title style, for instance [1]. You may also want to take a look at D Wesshoven's style (biblatex-dw).
Cheers, Stefano [1] http://ctan.math.utah.edu/ctan/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex/doc/examples/60-style-authortitle.pdf On Thu, Oct 4, 2012 at 2:23 PM, আনন্দ কুমার সমদ্দার <ana...@samaddar.co.uk> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I've read the relevant articles on the LyX wiki but I thought I'd ask > here as well as I'm getting nowhere > > I'm currently preparing some written samples for submission towards a > postgraduate application.
