How do I get apalike (w/natbib) to display URLs in the Bibliography??
Hi,
I am working with Lyx 1.6.2 on windows, and I am writing my thesis in
the book (KOMA-script) - class. I have chosen natbib (author-year) in
Documents settings and loaded the bib-file using apalike since this
format seems to work best for me.
Everything is working fine, except that I cannot get the Bibliography
to display url's. I feel like there should be a simple solution I just
can't find - maybe changing the field of urls in the bib-file or
something like that...?
As an example, my bib-file reads:
@www{Hirsch.22010,
author = {Hirsch, Barry and Macpherson, David},
year = {2/2010},
title = {{U}nion {M}embership and {C}overage {D}atabase from the {C}{P}{S}},
url = {www.unionstats.com},
urldate = {6/25/2010}
}
and the Bibliography output is:
Hirsch, B. and Macpherson, D. (2/2010). Union Membership and Coverage Database
from the CPS.
Any ideas, please send. Thank you!

Re: need in-text citations to line-break!
That was a good suggestion. I went back and checked, and the problem seems to appear in cases with more than one author. In fact, in those cases, instead of just giving Mishel et al.(2009), the in-text citation reads Mishel et al.(2009)Mishel, Bernstein, and Shierholz, which of course is not how it should be. I will see if I can tweek my bib file and experiment with other styles. If you have any other suggestions, please tell me. Thank you!

Problem with headings
Hi, I am working with Lyx 1.6.2 on windows, and I am writing my thesis in the book (KOMA-script) - class. It is a multi-part document. I wanted to use the headings style fancy (Document - Settings... - Page Layout), and got weird results: On the top left it states the right chapter (as I wanted), but on the top right it always inserts the word Contents. If I use the headings style plain, it inserts only the word Contents on the top, all throughout the document. (I inserted my TOC simply through the menu function, and have no other problems with it.) I am quite confused. Does anybody know why it might be doing that, and - mainly :-) - how I could fix it? I would be happy just to have the word contents deleted from my headings. Thank you! LR

Re: Problem with Bibliography author-year style in document class book (KOMA-script)
thank you very much for your reply!
what style did you choose for the bibliography itself? (when you right
click on BibTeX Generated Bibliography - Settings... to choose the
bib-file and the citation style from the list)
I ask because, unfortunately, the preamble produced two error messages
for me (see below). but maybe it depends on what corresponding style
you choose? (I did choose natbib in Document - Settings -
Bibliography...)
The error messages:
Undefined control sequence.
\bibpunct
{(}{)}{,}{a}{,}{,}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.

Re: Problem with Bibliography author-year style in document class book (KOMA-script)
thank you!
In the meantime, I fixed some of my problems and I'm pretty happy with
the results.
- part of my problem apparently was a bad bib-file, which I fixed now.
- I found a good solution for deleting the short titles from my
reference list: \renewcomma...@biblabel[1]{} in the LateX preamble did
the trick. I found the suggestion here:
http://texnik.dante.de/cgi-bin/mainFAQ.cgi?file=bibtex/bibtex#nolabel
- I did manage to change the square brackets around the citations in
the text to round ones with:
\renewcomman...@cite}[2]{({#1...@tempswa , #2\fi})} in the preamble
I am still looking for a way to get rid of the brackets around the
year in my citations. Right now, they look like this: (Talos(2008)),
and I want them to look like (Talos 2008).
so, if anybody has suggestions, that would be great!
apart from that though, I'm very happy with the results for now.

Problem with Bibliography author-year style in document class book (KOMA-script)
Hi, I am writing my thesis in the book (KOMA-script) - class, and need my citations in author-year style in the text (e.g., xxx (Freud 1928, 15) xxx), and sorted by author (not numbered) in the bibliography. I am maintaining my literature-database in citavi, from where I can export the references into .bib documents. I am working with Lyx 1.6.2 on windows, and I did not use a bibtex-editor or anything like that. In Document Settings Bibliography I chose natbib with author-year style. I inserted the Bibliography through Insert List/TOC..., where I uploaded my .bib-file. When I choose the style plain, creating a pdf works without problems, but the Bibliography shows up using numbers, both in the Text - e.g.: [2, 192] - and in the Bibliography, which is not what I want. All the other styles I've tried (natbib, plainnat, apacite, ...) produce various error messages when I create a PDF, and in the PDF the Bibliography is all garbled up (Authors' names appear several times, the German Umlaut-Letters like ö/ä/ü are not printed, formatting is messed up, etc.). I have been looking for a solution for hours now, and I am just not sure where my problem lies or what to do next. Should I try changing the document settings in Lyx (in the Preamble, for example)?

Re: Problem with Bibliography author-year style in document class book (KOMA-script)
Thank you! I fixed my bib-file (it did miss a year!), so that was
certainly good advice. I also downloaded some additional packages
through Miktex and tried out some other citation styles. Some of them
work (such as apalike or plain), but the ones I would need don't.
The citation styles that don't work all give me a lot of error
messages saying Undefined control sequence. and the error
descriptions look something like this (this one came when I used the
style chicago):
...r{Aiginger}{Aiginger}{2007}]{Aiginger.2007}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
I do not know why the name of the author (Aiginger) is repeated so
often, that is not the case in my bib-file. In other error messages,
symbols like % suddenly appear in the text where there are non in the
bibtex file.
Does anybody know what the problem might be?
I tried different encodings when I exported my references from citavi
to bibtex (UTF-8, US-ASCII, Western European (ISO), ...) but nothing
changed. Is there a specific encoding I should use?
Thank you!

This is almost always due to some sort of error in your bib file. A missing
year in an entry, for example, will force BibTeX to use numerical citations
rather than author-year citations.
All the other styles I've tried (natbib, plainnat, apacite, ...)
produce various error messages when I create a PDF, and in the PDF the
Bibliography is all garbled up (Authors' names appear several times,
the German Umlaut-Letters like ö/ä/ü are not printed, formatting is
messed up, etc.).
If these are written with umlauts in the bib file, that also could cause a
problem. It depends very much upon encoding issues and the like.
I have been looking for a solution for hours now, and I am just not
sure where my problem lies or what to do next. Should I try changing
the document settings in Lyx (in the Preamble, for example)? Or do I
need a program to edit the bib-file? Which program would be easy to
use on windows? Or could the problem be that my .bib-file is not
configured right?
A bib file is just a text file, so you can open it in notepad or whatever.
But you might want to use something like JabRef, which will give you a nice
interface to the file.

Problem with Bibliography author-year style in document class book (KOMA-script)
Hi, I am writing my thesis in the book (KOMA-script) - class, and need my citations in author-year style in the text (e.g., xxx (Freud 1928, 15) xxx), and sorted by author (not numbered) in the bibliography. I am maintaining my literature-database in citavi, from where I can export the references into .bib documents. I am working with Lyx 1.6.2 on windows, and I did not use a bibtex-editor or anything like that. In Document Settings Bibliography I chose natbib with author-year style. I inserted the Bibliography through Insert List/TOC..., where I uploaded my .bib-file. When I choose the style plain, creating a pdf works without problems, but the Bibliography shows up using numbers, both in the Text - e.g.: [2, 192] - and in the Bibliography, which is not what I want.
