Hi,
If I want to remove a citation from a document in Lyx I typically simply delete
the field.
Trouble is that doesn't prevent the citation from appearing in the reference
list (although it's no longer cited anywhere in the document).
Instead I also have to edit my BibTeX file and delete it there as well.
Why is it behaving like this? shouldn't LaTeX only include in the reference list
those entries in the BibTeX record that were actually cited in the paper? Isn't
that one of the major reasons why reference managers exist?
Here's a guess. Click on the bibliography inset (which lists the BibTeX
databases you are using). Toward the bottom, there is a combo box that
is labelled "content". There are two choices: (i) All cited references;
(ii) All
references. The former does what you want; the latter prints all citations
from the BibTeX file, whether they are used or not.
If that's not the problem, then we'll talk more.
