Hello lyx-users,
I'm trying to use the elsevier-harv bibtex style for the preparation
of in a elsevier journal article.
The problem:
I cannot have a reference style compliant to what requested by the journal
IN THE TEXT instead of having citations like (author, year), I get things
like (author, [number]),
(no way to have authors together with years changing citation styles !!!)
IN REFERENCES I cannot get rid of numbers [n] before references...
On the Elsevier site
(http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/authorsview.authors/elsart)
they write that the class specifications are:
--------------------------------
BibTeX style files
We have developed two BibTeX style files for journal articles:
* BibTeX style file elsart-harv.bst for articles with Harvard style
(author-year) references.
When you use this style file, you should also use the natbib package.
* BibTeX style file elsart-num.bst for articles with numbered references.
* BibTeX style file elsart-num-sort.bst for articles with numbered
alphabetically sorted references.
* BibTeX style file elsart-num-names.bst for articles with numbered
references with a name-year label.
--------------------------------
For the Journal I'm interested in the first style (elsart-harv) should be used.
I'm using Lyx 1.6 with MikTex2.7.
I have used:
Document > Settings > Document Class set to "article (Elsevier)"
Document > Settings > Bibliography set to "NatBib" with Natbib style:
Author-year
In the document (Insert > List - TOC > Bibtex Bibliography):
i pointed to a .bib file generated with JabRef 2.4.2 that begins:
--------------------------------
% This file was created with JabRef 2.4.2.
% Encoding: Cp1252
@BOOK{Blakely(1995),
title = {Potential theory in gravity and magnetic applications},
publisher = {Cambridge Univ. Press, New York},
year = {1995},
author = {Blakely, R.J.},
owner = {Roberto},
timestamp = {2009.02.06}
}
@ARTICLE{Chakravarthi(2002),
author = {V. Chakravarthi and H.M. Raghuram and S.B. Singh},
title = {3-D forward gravity modeling above which the density contrast varies
continuously with depth},
journal = {Computers \& Geosciences},
year = {2002},
volume = {22},
pages = {53-57},
owner = {Roberto},
timestamp = {2009.02.06}
}
...
--------------------------------
and so on (authors and year are specified for each record)
in the text (Insert > Citation...):
I tried all of the styles with no luck.
It seems to me that there is no problem in the .bib file because I got the
right citation style using a different class (apa)
with natbib author-style and apa, apacite reference styles.
I'm new to Lyx and maybe something is wrong with my installation,
i noticed a lot of unavailable classes in document settings class.
What I'm doing wrong? Please Help
Thanks in advance
Best regards,
Roberto
