BibTeX in Sub-documents

Post by Lyx-User »

Hey Community,

I am writing my BA theses with LyX using the KOMA Script. I divided it into parts and documents and "include" them into my main file. How does it work to have access to the main references? I wanna have one list of references.

Thanks, greetings

If you only want the bibliography at the end, you should be fine with the usual method. If you want separate bibliographies at the end of each \include, use chapterbib or multibib and run BibTeX on each .aux file separately.

My main problem is, that the Refs are not found in the /include files. How to ref, if there are no refs?

I'm not sure what you mean or what you are trying to do. If you want one bibliography at the end of the report/book, just include it at the end as usual, no extra packages required as far as I know.

If that's not it, please describe, plainly, what you want to happen and what is currently happening.

I do have one main document (introduction, first page etc. and the bibliography.
The other chapters are included by /include - if I wanna have a ref in these files how can I find the Refs from the Mainpage (importet to the bibliography via JabRef). The dialogue of the seperated documents is empty of course, because there is no bibliography.
Thanks ;)
