If you use Jabref as a bib manager, you can create a bib file, with the used

jabref -a filename[.aux],newBibfile[.bib]

I find this useful, especially if you are using several bib files and many

You should be able to create the .bib file anywhere you want. For 
example, select all the references, then right-click - Export...

Or just copy (not move) the file that you already have.

Will LyX produce a LaTeX2E or TeX file?

[William Hanson]

I'm trying to submit a manuscript via the Springer web site to one of their
journals (Philosophical Studies).  Although the web site says they accept
many formats, including LaTeX2E and TeX, it won't accept the file that LyX
has produced.  Any ideas?  (I've contacted Springer too but so far have

Lyx will produce a LaTeX2e file IF you export the file as such:

FileExportLatex(plain)

It will produce a will with extension .tex in the same directory as
the original Lyx file.
Notice that the .lyx file that you open in Lyx is not latex and will
most likely not be accepted by Springer.

Thanks Stefano,

It worked, but I now have another problem.  The Springer web site has
accepted the .tex file that you helped me create, but when I look at the
contents of that file on their web site (in order to give it my Final
Approval) the references do not show up.  (There's no list of references
at the end of my paper, and all the little reference items in the text or
the paper appear as [?], rather than as [7], etc.) I suppose this is
because the references are in a BibTeX Generated Bibliography, as it says
at the end of my .lyx file.  How do I get that to Springer so that the two
files will work together to make the references to appear as they
should?

Ahh, that's trickier. You need to run latex and then bibtex on your

like biblatex and stuff). After you've done that, you'll find a file
with extension .bbl.
Append the content of that file to your tex file and you're in

explained here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/AcmSigplan (look at the
Including bibliography entries in LyX file section).

Notice, however, that Springer usually accepts submissions as .tex +
.bib files. I am not familiar with Philosophical Studies (in spite of
being a philosopher), but Springer's instructions are usually very
clear. Perhaps they want you to to combine the .tex and .bib file into
a zipped archive?

The problem that Hanson ran into is a common one, which I have commented 
on here
in the past.  It would be really nice if there was a simple way to 
automate the solution so that new users will
not need to come  to this list again (some users do not know that it 
exists) to find out
how to solve this problem (of generating a Latex file that is acceptable 
to journals, with all

the references included in the .tex file).

There's a Python script included with LyX that will do this for you. 
There are some remarks here:

http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/4624
about how to set it up as a converter, and also an explanation of why we 
do not set it up by default. We should probably put something in the

On lInux, you'd just use the zip command from the command line. Open a

and then issue the zip command:

Lyx will produce a LaTeX2e file IF you export the file as such:

FileExportLatex(plain)

It will produce a will with extension .tex in the same directory as
the original Lyx file.
Notice that the .lyx file that you open in Lyx is not latex and will
most likely not be accepted by Springer.

Thanks Stefano,

It worked, but I now have another problem.  The Springer web site has
accepted the .tex file that you helped me create, but when I look at the
contents of that file on their web site (in order to give it my Final
Approval) the references do not show up.  (There's no list of references
at the end of my paper, and all the little reference items in the text or
the paper appear as [?], rather than as [7], etc.) I suppose this is
because the references are in a BibTeX Generated Bibliography, as it says
at the end of my .lyx file.  How do I get that to Springer so that the two
files will work together to make the references to appear as they
should?

There's a Python script included with LyX that will do this for you. 
There are some remarks here:

about how to set it up as a converter, and also an explanation of why we 
do not set it up by default. We should probably put something in the

I meant you need to run the latex program on the .tex file you

you work on.
But forget about that: I just checked the Springer instructions for
Philosophical studies,  and, as I suspected, they accept multi-file
manuscript zipped into a single archive. So my suggestion is to avoid
the complications of extracting the references and instead pack both
your lyx-exported .tex file and your bibliography (in a bib file) into
a single archive and then upload that.
How to do that, again, depends on your platform. If you are on Windows
there are many utilities that allow you to create zip archives. I
don't use Windows, so I can't be precise, but I vaguely remember a
program called  WinZip that did just that. Windows users on this list
may provide more specific advice.
On lInux, you'd just use the zip command from the command line. Open a
terminal window, move to the directory where your tex and bib files
are:

$cd /my/working/directory

and then issue the zip command:

$zip my_manuscript_archive my_file.tex my_references.bib

that will produce a file called  my_manuscript_archive.zip, which you
can then upload to the Springer site

On the Mac, you can do the same thing, I believe. Mac users may want
to provide more specific advice.

Note that Springer usually requires that your .bib file contains only
the references you use in your manuscript. If you have a  bib file
with other references (as most people do), you should save it as a new
file and then eliminate all the extra references (how to do that
depends on which software you use to manage your references).

I now seem to be tantalizingly close to creating a zip folder (or zip

Mendeley Desktop. And I *cannot* move it to any other location.  So in

Lyx will produce a LaTeX2e file IF you export the file as such:

File>>Export>>Latex(plain)

It will produce a will with extension .tex in the same directory as
the original Lyx file.
Notice that the .lyx file that you open in Lyx is not latex and will
most likely not be accepted by Springer.

Ahh, that's trickier. You need to run latex and then bibtex on your
file (assuming you're using bibtex, instead of its later replacements
like biblatex and stuff). After you've done that, you'll find a file
with extension .bbl.
Append the content of that file to your tex file and you're in

explained here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/AcmSigplan (look at the

Ahh, that's trickier. You need to run latex and then bibtex on your
file (assuming you're using bibtex, instead of its later replacements
like biblatex and stuff). After you've done that, you'll find a file
with extension .bbl.
Append the content of that file to your tex file and you're in
business. You can even do insert everything into you lyx file as
explained here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/AcmSigplan (look at the
"Including bibliography entries in LyX file" section).

Notice, however, that Springer usually accepts submissions as .tex +
.bib files. I am not familiar with Philosophical Studies (in spite of
being a philosopher), but Springer's instructions are usually very
clear. Perhaps they want you to to combine the .tex and .bib file into
a zipped archive?

There's a Python script included with LyX that will do this for you. 
There are some remarks here:

about how to set it up as a converter, and also an explanation of why we

It worked, but I now have another problem.  The Springer web site has
accepted the .tex file that you helped me create, but when I look at the
contents of that file on their web site (in order to give it my "Final
Approval") the references do not show up.  (There's no list of references at
the end of my paper, and all the little reference items in the text or the
paper appear as [?], rather than as [7], etc.) I suppose this is because the
references are in a "BibTeX Generated Bibliography", as it says at the end
of my .lyx file.  How do I get that to Springer so that the two files will

Best would be to document it on the wiki, and use appropriate keywords
to make it easily searchable/findeable, and/or point people to it when
they inquire on the list. Unless there is a smart script that could
handle this, I don't think that LyX could adapt itself to the quirks
of all the journals out there.

The solution Richard Heck proposes is one I'd like to follow.  But when I
go to Export I'm asked to choose between four different versions of LaTeX.
Which one should I use?

plain, probably, unless you've been using XeTeX or LuaTeX features.

I meant you need to run the latex program on the .tex file you
exported from Lyx. How to do that depends (slightly) on which platform
you work on.
But forget about that: I just checked the Springer instructions for
Philosophical studies,  and, as I suspected, they accept multi-file
manuscript zipped into a single archive. So my suggestion is to avoid
the complications of extracting the references and instead pack both
your lyx-exported .tex file and your bibliography (in a bib file) into
a single archive and then upload that.
How to do that, again, depends on your platform. If you are on Windows
there are many utilities that allow you to create zip archives. I
don't use Windows, so I can't be precise, but I vaguely remember a
program called  WinZip that did just that. Windows users on this list
may provide more specific advice.
On lInux, you'd just use the zip command from the command line. Open a
terminal window, move to the directory where your tex and bib files
are:

$cd /my/working/directory

and then issue the zip command:

$zip my_manuscript_archive my_file.tex my_references.bib

that will produce a file called  my_manuscript_archive.zip, which you
can then upload to the Springer site

On the Mac, you can do the same thing, I believe. Mac users may want
to provide more specific advice.

Note that Springer usually requires that your .bib file contains only
the references you use in your manuscript. If you have a  bib file
with other references (as most people do), you should save it as a new
file and then eliminate all the extra references (how to do that
depends on which software you use to manage your references).

I certainly do. We were even in the same dept for a few years.

Re: Will LyX produce a LaTeX2E or TeX file?

[William Hanson]

Thanks Stefano,

I now seem to be tantalizingly close to creating a zip folder (or zip
archive?) to send to Philosophical Studies.  I've created a .bib file that
contains only the references I use in my paper, but this file is inside the
Mendeley Desktop. And I *cannot* move it to any other location.  So in
particular I can't get it into the folder that contains the .tex file of my
manuscript.  If only I could do that, I think I would be able to apply
WinZip to create the zipped entity (file?, folder?, archive?) I need, which
I could then send to Philosophical Studies.

I'm in philosophy at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, by the
way.  I've met Chris only once or twice, but we've corresponded.  I admire
his work.

I have never used Mendeley, but would this link help?

http://libguides.mit.edu/content.php?pid=241351=1992274#3


If not, I will have to defer to Mendeley users on the list.

I like Chris's work, too, even though I am in a rather different
sub-discipline (you may say I am a Continental philosopher, admitting
such a label makes any sense.)
