Hi, everybody. In the last year or so, I've been testing services like CiteULike and Zotero to build a biblio database as I research. This works pretty well to output the citations to a bib file and work with LyX.
I notice only one substantial problem. The citations from those online services have extraneous information that I don't want to appear in the bibliography. But when I use natbib citations with a format like "apalike" (or any other, as far as I can tell), the extra info in the bibtex data base comes into the final document. I'm now pasting from the pdf output from LyX L’Ecuyer, P., Simard, R., Chen, E. J., and Kelton, W. D. (2002). An Object-Oriented Random- Number package with many long streams and substreams. Operations Research, 50(6):1073–1075. ArticleType: primary_article / Full publication date: Nov. - Dec., 2002 / Copyright  c 2002 INFORMS. The part that starts ArticleType and goes to the end is extraneous, should not be printed. The only fix I have found is to go through the bib file and just manually delete that stuff. But I know there must be a better way. yes? pj -- Paul E. Johnson Professor, Political Science 1541 Lilac Lane, Room 504 University of Kansas
