You probably had just luck that no problem occured. Natbib and apalike a two
different approaches for the same problem (even though natbib has probably
been designed with apalike in mind).

Overview of the NatBib styles - which is the right one for me?

[Janus Sandsgaard]

I am using NatBib with author-year citation. On my PC I have the following 
styles available for NatBiB:

/usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/natbib/abbrvnat.bst
/usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/natbib/plainnat.bst
/usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/natbib/unsrtnat.bst

as described in the NatBib documentation (which I have read):
http://www.linmpi.mpg.de/english/services/software/latex/localtex/doc/natbib.pdf

However, the manual describes the NatBiB compatible styles in relation to the 
old ones they are replacing (plain, apalike etc). But since I do now have 
experience with these style I am having difficulties choosing which is right 
for me.

Can anyone point me to a place that can give me an overview of (the 
differences between) the styles - and help me choosing which is right for me? 
I guess I simply need something apalike. As said for sociale science.

Kind regards,
Janus

Earlier you mentioned you wanted an apalike reference set up.

Select the NatBib package ffrom Layout-Document

Then select the apalike settings when you do Insert-ListsTOC-BibTex 
Reference

But as far as I understand the apalike.bst was not written with NatBiB in 
mind, and using it with NatBib could cause problems. This is why I started 
looking into abbrvnat.bst, plainnat.bst and unsrtnat.bst. But maybe I am 
wrong here.
