Referencing and citation

Post by Wesley Doorsamy »

Hi All,

I am using the automatically generated bibliography, and alter my references externally, however the order of the references are not correct e.g. the first referenced material should be listed first in the generated references and also show [1] in the citation.
I tried placing them in alpabetical order in the external document but the problem persists.
Any suggestions? I am using Lyx 2.03.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

I use an external (BibTeX) bibliography also. If I right-click on the 'BibTeX generated bibliography' in LyX, and pick the Settings option, then a dialog box appears. Towards the bottom there is a drop-down box labelled 'Style'. I believe (but am not certain) that this is how you control the order of your references.

Also you might want to take a look at:

Hi Paul,

Thanks. That works, I just changed to using an IEEE style for instance and all my references were cited in order as well as numbered correctly.

Regards.

I am also using the automatically generated bibliography, however the order of the references are not correct either, the first referenced material should be listed first in the generated references and also show [1] in the citation.

I am using Lyx 2.0 and I am not sure which style should i use
