hello everyone!
Firstly, I am sure Christiaan is going to yell at me, and I really hate this…I’d love he could more patient with me, just as I am with my patients and coworkers. The issue is: when importing any kind of citation from a medical journal (as per bibtex format) my publication fields are filled with the full surname AND NAME of authors, whereas I get a correct vancouver output on my preview pane showing the initials of author names. However, this behaviour is nor reproducible whenever I cite to LyX. And only to LyX, since all the other TeX editors do the job flawlwssly. In summary, my LyX-generated pdf file shows long names, and I need only abbreviated names. Can anyone help me out? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.

This seems to be a TeX question. If you can use biblatex and biber in LyX for LaTeX production of the pdf, you can add firstinits to the options for biblatex, as in: \usepackage[firstinits,authortitle]{biblatex} \addbibresource{yourbib.bib} After checking the LyX wiki at http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex however, I realize this may be more involved than I initially thought it to be. --Gildas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.

Sounds like LyX isn’t using vancouver style, then. You’d need to look at the underlying .tex code and see what’s going on, I think; I’ve not messed around with LyX in years.
