Re: Citation format
Rich Shepard wrote:
I am having a very difficult time setting up two citations in book.bib for
use with natbib. Both citations are from US government agencies and they
have no named author. I've tried using the agency names or initials in the
author field but that does not properly display. I'd really appreciate some
suggestions.
Here are the two citiations as they now exist:
@misc{CEQ87,
author = {C. E. Q.},
year = {1987},
title = {Regulations for Implementing NEPA, Section 1508.27, 40 Code of Federal
Regulations},
publisher = {Council on Environmental Quality,
http://ceq.eh.doe.gov/nepa/ceq/toc_ceq.htm}
}
@techreport{EPA93,
author = {U.S. E. P. A.},
year = {1993},
title = {Sourcebook for the Environmental Assessment Process},
institution = {Office of Federal Activities, Environmental Protection
Agency},
number = {300-B-93-007}
}
Rich, you might try this:
(1) Enclose the authors in an extra {} pair. That prevents bibtex from
parsing them as personal names.
(2) Your bibtex style may not produce a publisher field for a
'misc'-entry. If so, try changing this to 'book'.
(3) Using an underscore in a bibtex entry creates problems with some
styles. You can solve this by escaping the underscore (i.e.'\_' instead
of '_').
Hope this helps you,
John

You are not supposed to have a titelpage in an article (you should use
report or book). So probably you have forced your titlepage with
\newpage. If you really want do do this, put \thispagestyle{empty} just
before \newpage in the ERT, not at the beginning of the document
(that is: not before or in title, author etc.).
You will, of course, get number '2' as the page number of the first page
of your article. To get number '1', put \setcounter{page}{1} in an ERT
somewhere at the beginning of your first proper page of the article.
But do consider whether you have ever seen an article with a title
