Thank you so much, again, Miki,

The apacite documentation (I guess that was what Paul, also, was talking about) was of great help, specially Table1, on page 15, where reference types and fields are matched. That makes it so much easier to understand!

I suppose that these tools are evolving and that lots of work has been already committed to it, but it certainly isn't easy for the newbie to grasp all the possibilities made available and their corresponding requirements. In order to be able to write my first paper (and text) in LyX, with an adequately formatted bibliography, I had to invest almost 16 hours. I guess that it was a good investment, as I'll have an easier time in future papers, but I'm not sure if others would be as persistent as I had to be.

Thanks again!

Roberto

Hi,

By bibtex entry type, I mean "article, book, techreport, other, etc..

By bibtex style, I mean, plain, unsrt, apsrev, whatever journal style or liking fits your needs.

The bibtex style decides what fields will show up. For instance, all article bibtex styles I have tried do not display the title of the paper, but do display the titles of books.

Are the urls of papers which can be found in journals, or of technical reports ? You will have to decide which is the best bibtex entry type to use.

The apacite documentation itself contains references to url's in the "howpublished" field of the "misc" bibtex entry type:

http://www.dante.de/CTAN//help/Catalogue/entries/apacite.html

You may download the package and look at their bibtex file.

I hope this helps you.

Miki
