Fellow LyXers,
In a volume to which I am contributing, each article ends with a
set of
"Notes" in numerical order. When a note cites a reference for the
first
time, it gives the full bibliographic information (what would
normally be
given in the list of references). Ibid and loc cit are then used
for later
citations of that reference in the notes. There is no separate list
of
references, as all the bibliographic information is contained in
the notes.
How does LyX/LaTeX handle this reference style? Do I have to type
in the
full bibliographic information for every work cited, at least the
initial
time it's cited, or is there there some automagic may of handling
this? I
use BibDesk to store the reference information.
It looks like you should be using biblatex, which you can find here:
http://dante.ctan.org/indexes/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex/
The biblatex documentation is extensive and will explain what you need
to do to get full citations, ibid, and loc cit. (It comes with a
collection of styles, which may be all you need. Others have
contributed biblatex styles; you can find many of these here:
http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/
Although LyX doesn't natively support biblatex, you can get it working
by following instructions on this page:
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex
The only caution with all of this is that biblatex is a work in
progress, but many (including myself) have used it successfully.

Thank you, Bennett. I'll take a look at biblatex.
