Hello,
I am writing my thesis now, and just knew about LATEX.
I downloaded LyX, and started to work with, however I have a concern.
In MS Word, I am using a citation manager, Refworks to insert citations, and
at the end it produces a bibliography numbered list, while in the main
document itself, it generates references to the list according to the
selected style.
e.g. a full frontal impact can extend for more than half a day even with
current computational capabilities [1].
and
1. REFERENCES
[1] Natori, S., and Yu, Q., 2007, "2007-01-0882 an Application of CAP
(Computer-Aided Principle) to Structural Design for Vehicle Crash Safety,"
SAE SP, (2072) pp. 73-80.
so, can I get the same using LyX?
Do I need any additional software?
Thank you,
Hi,
As far as i know you have to get a bib file for your references and than
you can insert them in Lyx using any style. The citation manager that
you are using probably will generate the bib file i think. But you can
have a look at Lyx wiki page were thay have information about software
that you can use and other details regarding references.

I am using Jabref a free references manager which is quite good you can
get it from
