Is this a bug in IEEEtran
This is perhaps an inconsistency where the IEEEtran.bst LyX is using is not in line with current IEEE requirements. This statement assumes you are using BibDesk to generate a BibTeX file that LyX then uses with the IEEEtran style. > or can this be controlled by LyX or do I have to mess with something else? I recommend adjusting your current IEEEtran.bst, searching for an IEEE-compliant .bst to use, or creating your own with makebst. A workflow would be like: First use latex makebst to be routed through a menu-driven interface to define the various stylistic parameters for the bibliography entries. This will create a .log and .dbj file. From there, run tex ...djb to create a standard .bstfile. Some guessing-and-testing will likely be necessary. > Is this related to IEEEtran.cls? > I don't believe so. The .cls file controls the document layout, the .bst file defines the bibliography style.
