RE: LyX & BibTeX & complex author names
Wolfgang,
Thanks a lot for giving the BibTeX syntax rule... I have always (?) used
“Firstname Surname”…

I'm using JabRef to handle BibTeX, and struggle to correctly handle authors
"Arthur E. Bryson, Jr. and Yu-Chi Ho". I use a Harvard reference style.
What is the correct way to write the author name in the author field of
BibTeX/JabRef? I have tried with:
"Arthur E. {Bryson, Jr.} and Yu-Chi Ho" -- which leads to "Bryson, Jr., A.E., &
Ho, Y.-Ch." In the typeset bibliography list. Perhaps ok (although I'd like
"and" instead of "&" -- "&" looks too much like "Donald Duck & Co"...)
However, in LyX, this pops up as "Arthur E. Bryson and Ho (1975)". If I skip
the comma in the braces ({Bryson, Jr.} --> {Bryson Jr.}), it appears as "Jr.
and Ho (1975)" in LyX...

So -- what is the "correct" way to handle such a slightly complicated name?

Have you tried to mouse-click on the author field and select
normalize to BibTex name format
? You might also choose a different style file. Tell us, how you would like to
have your citation.

which boils down to
If a name has "Junior" component (and no "von" component), it needs to be
entered as SurnameComponent, JuniorComponent, FirstNameComponent. Note that
there are now two commas, not one. This is a BibTeX syntax rule that's
independent of the bibliography style you employ.
Hence, you need to enter the second author's name as Bassett, Jr., Gilbert.
