Force LyX to use square bracket citation style

Post by jodles »

Hello,

I'm using the apalike bst style, simply because I'm exporting my BibTex database from Zotero, and the plainnat style shows all the extra stuff Zotero exports that I don't want to see in my References - while apalike doesn't.

However, with citation style set to NatBib - Authoryear, using plainnat citations are shown in square brackets, i.e. [Jodles, 2013], but while using apalike they're shown with rounded brackets, (Jodles, 2013). I tried to overrule this by setting \usepackage[square]{natbib} in the preamble, but this now conflicts with the setting within LyX document settings.

Any suggestions?:)
