LyX ⇒ Abbreviating Author Lists in Bibliography with "et al"

[Skylyon]

I'm desperately trying to abbreviate long author lists for a paper in Lyx. However, even when I select the Natbib option and use plainnat, the authors are still always listed in long form. How do I keep this from happening in Lyx? Here is my bib code:

Code: Select all

@ARTICLE{CD4Count500,
author = {Melanie A. Thompson and Judith A. Aberg and Pedro Cahn and Julio SG Montaner and Giuliano Rizzardini and Amalio Telenti and José M Gatell and Huldrych F Gunthard and Scott M Hammer and Martin S Hirsch and Donna M Jacobsen and Peter Reiss and Douglas D Richman and Paul A Volberding and Patrick Yeni and Robert T Schooley},
title = {Antiretroviral Treatment of Adult HIV Infection: 2010  Recommendations of the International AIDS Society: USA Panel},
journal = {JAMA},
year = {2010},
volume = {304},
pages = {321-333},
timestamp = {2011.03.20}
}

I am having the same problem you described. I'm using document class "article", natbib, "jneuros" (instead of plainnat). In the text, the "et al" works, but in the bibliography, all the authors' names show up.

Hello everyone again.
I have another doubt, this time related with this post.

In my case I would like to abbreviate the author list, but only in some specific papers. Is that possible? I have two or three papers in my references with around 50 authors, but others have only two or three, and those are ok.

I would like to shorten only some specifica papers for only "First Author et al.".
If someone knows how to do it, I'd appreciate.
Thank you,
Kaioh
