That's what 'type' field is for. See this:
@techreport{bewley:FRW-2002-1383,
author = {Truman Bewley},
title = {Fairness, Reciprocity, and Wage Rigidity},
institution = {Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics at Yale
University},
year = {2002},
type = {Discussion Paper},
number = {1383},
url = {http://ssrn.com/abstract=348140}
}
Works like a charm for me (except that this whole reciprocity group of
people leads to nowhere for me, but that is not problem of LyX :-).

IIRC you have to put them in braces in these fields (like {å}), because
bibtex processes the fields for key extraction etc.

It was set on "auto", but changing to "latin1" did not fix my problem.

Thanks. That worked - with "auto" as well as "latin1".

Here is an example of a record where I solved the problem by putting {The
Danish Board of Technology} in brackets (thank you, Sam Lewis) - both as
author and publisher using the @book:
@BOOK{DBT2005-GMP-rapporten,
title = {Nye GM-planter - ny debat. Borgerjury afholdt af Teknologiraadet},
publisher = {{The Danish Board of Technology}},
year = {2005},
author = {{The Danish Board of Technology}},
institution = {{The Danish Board of Technology}},
owner = {Janus Sandsgaard},
}

I agree. But if if I do like that "technical report" will be written in my
bibliography.

With Windows, you may use Bibedit. That has an option (Edit -> Option)
"Translate extended ASCII" that does the necessary conversions
automatically.

Not sure if this will work for all but:
I added a touch of LaTeX code directly into the .bib file entry.
i.e. Freds{\o}e in the bib file entry will produce Fredsøe in the output.

Check that in your LyX document Layout/Document/Language/Encoding you have
lain1. Alternatively you can type (in your .bib file) \ae{} instead of ?,
\o{} instead of ? and \r{a} instead of ?.
Does it help?

This seems to me that you are using somehow incorrectly information in
BibTeX database. Can you send please an example of whole BibTeX record? For
example, IMHO the author of the report shouldn't be an institution, but
some person. Institution is then just in the field institution of
@techreport.
Does it help?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its
victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live
under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The
robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at
some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own
good will torment us without end, for they do so with the
approval of their consciences.

Problems with BibTex and LyX
Hi, the easiest way may be to find a journal in your field with a reference style you like and download the style file from the instructions for authors. American Economic Review has the style file aer.bst, for instance, or the Journal of Institutional and Theoretical Economics has the style file jite.bst. The authordate style files (to be found on the net) are also useful. Ekkehart

Good question! I'm not sure here either, but I think NatBib covers
Harvard style of reference, which is common for social science. So
far as I understand this means you only need to use a BST that was
written for the \usepackage {harvard} .
I personally would like to see a greater range of Harvard style BSTs, as
the existing ones are often only for a few Journals that involve
mathematics or statistics. Of course, is this understandable from the
sociotechnical history of the coming together of artifacts like LaTex,
Tex, or LyX, but it makes it less accessible for people who don't work
in these fields or don't have the skills to revamp a BST from scratch.
Any comprehensive list of BSTs somewhere?
Cheers, Sam

I simply entered the {brackets} in the interface of JabRef.

Still a little puzzled with the difference between apalike.bst and apalike.bst
(for Natbib). ;-) There has been postings mealier with a guy who experienced
near-deadline problems as the numbers of references grew to a certain number.
Maybe because he used a style not compatible with natbib. I use natbib with
autor-year style right now (and it is working), but I am am afraid that I am
also using an apalike.bst which was not written for NatBib.

Try to enter {the name of the author} in brackets, as in the following
example. This should ensure that the output in your reference section
and throughout the text will be in the desired format.
@Article{BMJ56,
Author = {{British Medical Journal}},
Whereas this
@Article{BMJ56,
Author = {British Medical Journal},
produces the effect you have described. Depending on your bibtex data
management application this might not need to done in code, but could
possibly be achieved in via an interface, or even automatically by the
application itself.

LyX is perfectly fine for social scientists and in conjunction with a
reasonable bibtext application pre-deadline problems might
be even further reducible :-)

Problems with BibTex and LyX
Hi there I am writing my master thesis using Lyx. So far I am happy about it, except from a few BibTex-related problems that are quite critical: 1) When trying to compile the Lyx-doc (show as PDF); I get an error message if the title or author fields contain Danish characters such as æ, ø and å. How can I work around this issue? 2) Am an not happy with the way my bibliography looks if I use literature published by an organisations. Example: I refer to a report by "The Danish Board of Technology" and in my reference section it becomes "of technology, T. D. B.". This is fine if I refer to a person, but not if I refer to an organisation, a ministry etc. Thanks! Remember: I am from social science (I am not a hacker or a LaTeX pro), so I prefer clear cut, main stream solutions (in contrast to strange hacks I do not understand and will cause me problems in the middle of the night just before deadline) :-) I am using LyX 1.3.4 and JabRef to do my bib file.
