Hi all,

I am using Lyx 1.6 on Windows 7. I have the following issue: For my thesis I
need to follow the Journal of Finance citation style. For this reason, I
have downloaded jf.bst from here:
http://www.ivo-welch.info/computers/bstfiles/ . As reported in the file,
this style makes use of harvard.sty, so I load the following im my Lyx
document preamble:

\usepackage{harvard}

\bibliographystyle{jf}


In general, when I cite some paper the first time all author names should
appear in the text. For instance, using \citeasnoun{} something like this
should be outputed: Name1, Name2, Name3 (2011) states that.... So far so
good. When citing for a second time then the abbreviated version should
appear: Name1 et al. (2010). The problem is that it does not. The outputed
pdf file always displays the full citation version only, irrespective of
whether I cite for the first, second, third time, etc. Can anybody help me?
I would really appreciate it.


Thank you


Citing from the jf.bst file:

%%% 3.Eliminated feature (bug?) of the harvard style of citation.
%%%             It creates a short label for subsequent citations.  This alleged
%%%             feature shortens both Aliprantis, Border, and Luxemburg (1991) 
and
%%%             Aliprantis, Brown, and Burkinshaw (1991) to Aliprantis et~al. 
(1991).

So it claims to have remove the feature that you are after. Best is to contact the author of this file.

Cheers,
Julien
