*Subject: *Problems using Bibtex with lyx. Help!!
I have used bibtex generated bibliography with access to an
appropriates bibtex database of references in all my lyx files that
cite references.
Upto now I have had no problems. I usually generate a pdf file in the
lyx document conversion. Now for some unknown reason when converting a
lyx file toa pdf file or any other file the reference list is
missing in the document conversion and the reference in the text are
not recognised and appear as [?]. I have no idea what has caused the
problem. Why it was working before and not now since as far as I am
aware I have done nothing. It happens on all my lyx files. I attach a
simple example lyx file, the latex file and the pdf conversion file
and the bib reference file. I would be very grateful if someone could
shed some light as to what is going on. Its a really annoying. I am
writing a review article using lyx which is about 6o pages long
Best regards

When I compile your MWE, I get both references printed, but the second
reference is garbled and causes a warning message in the LaTeX log. It
appears that the citation was copied from a PDF file and pasted into the
BibTeX database (either directly or through a program such as JabRef).
If you open the .bib database in a plain text editor and cursor through
the title of the Tian & Ahmad paper, you'll see that the first two
letters of "flows" count as one character (due to kerning in the PDF
file). Similarly, the two f's in "different" are actually one character.
There's probably a smarter way to fix it, but all else failing you can
run through the database and retype anything that generates a complaint
in the LaTeX log.
