I believe there are some plans for LyX to export bbl files. In the
meantime I suppose the script will work but you have to set it up
manually. Note that I have no experience doing this, but see
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/4624 (note that any comments regarding
the implementation should be posted at
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8710).

Sorry, but I do not seem to be able to reply except by "top posting".

I'm using Windows, 64 bit.

Here's the very end of my .tex file:

\begin{quotation}

\bibliographystyle{plain}

\bibliography{\string"//phil-home.ad.umn.edu/phil-home$/whanson/My
Documents/BibTeX/library\string"}

\end{quotation}

\end{document}


I have tried removing the space in "...My Documents ...", but it doesn't
help.  In fact in the process of removing the spaces I've somehow managed
to mess up my document so that now when I convert it to a pdf file there
are no references at the end.  And in the text all the citations say [?].

That probably means bibtex cannot find your bib file(s).  Look at the .tex
file in anb editor. At the very end (most likely the next to last line),
you'll see a line like:
\bibliography{}

Inside the braces you will have the complete path to your bibtex file (the
.bib file, but without the extension). Check that:
1. That path is indeed correct (is the file really there?).
2, There are no spaces in the path (fix the problem if otherwise. Easiest
way is to copy your lyx file and your bib file to a temporary directory in
your home directory)


If neither of these suggestions works, please post the complete output of
the bibtex run (from the terminal)

Well, I got as far as your 3, that is I ran bibtex on myfile.tex from the
command line.  It gave me lots of LateX Errors, like

LaTeX Warning: Citation `plantinga:1985a' on page 2 undefined on input line
103

But it didn't seem to produce  myfile.bbl; at least I don't see it
anywhere.  Maybe it didn't generate because of all the errors?
So I'm stuck at this point.

By the way, I did find a space in the filename, which I closed.  I don't
know how to tell if there are spaces in the directory structure.

Thanks for the help.

That depends on what TeX engine you are using (pdfteX, XeTeX, LuaTeX). If
you don't know what I am taking about, it is safe to assume you are using
the default engine (pdfTeX). Choose either File>>Export>>LaTeX(plain)  or

LyX chooses filename and destination for you: you get a file with exactly
the same filename as your lyx file, in the same directory. The only
difference will be the extension, which is changed from .lyx to .tex. For
instance, if yo are working on "MyGreatPaperForSpringer.lyx", you will find
a file called "MyGreatPaperforSpringer.tex" in the same directory where the
.lyx file is.

You probably have spaces in the filename and/or the directory structure.
Never a good idea when working with pure LaTeX from the command line. LyX
takes  care of this problem when you compile a LyX file, but you are on
your own when using LaTeX yourself. Better to rename the files (and/or
directories) without spaces before exporting to LaTeX

The are part of your TeX installation (TexLive, or MacTeX, or MikTeX,
depending on whether you are on Linux, Mac, or Windows, respectively). LyX
can't produce pdf files without TeX, so, yes, if you have ever produced a
pdf file with LyX, you definitely have all these programs. You just never
see them, because it is LyX that calls them, not you.

The only program you need in addition to those provided by TeX is a plain
text editor. You certainly have one on your system. It may be as
sophisticated as emacs or as simple as textedit.  It does not matter, since
you will be using the most basic functionality (cut and paste). I don't
know which platform you are on, so I can't direct you to a specific
program. But I can guarantee you will have one installed already.  Just
don't use a word processor (Word, LibreOffice, etc.) to open your tex and
bbl files. The will most likely save them in a non-text format (doc, odt,
etc.) that will mess up everything. There are ways to force
Word/Libreoffice to work as text editors, but if you know how to do that,
then you don't need any help on editors...

S.

For Springer, it is sometimes a bit more complicated than just exporting to
LaTeX. You also have to take care of inserting the bibliography into the
main LaTeX file, as they usually don't accept separate bib files. It
depends on the journal/book series, though. In case they don't, you
basically, you have to do the following:

1. Export to LaTeX (to, say "myfile.tex)
2. Run pdflatex (or xelatex or lualatex) on myfile.tex from the command line
3. run bibtex or biber on myfile.tex from the command line
4. Open the myfile.bbl in an editor, copy all the bibitems to clipboard
5. Open the myfile.tex file in an editor and paste all the bibitems you
copied inside the bibliography environment you will find at the end of the
file.
6. Send the myfile.tex file to Springer

See [1] for an example.


Cheers,

Stefano

"Export" gives you five different options to generate a LaTeX file.  
Surely one of them ("plain" would be my first choice) would work.
