LyX ⇒ LyX: prevent Bibtex Bibliograpghy from showing page cited

[lyx]

I cannot figure out how to prevent LyX from automatically adding links of the page numbers that cite entries in the bibliography. This is resulting in extra numbers after each entry.

For example:
Let's say there is a bib file with this as its contents:

@article{example_article,
author = {Generic Person},
title = {A {T}itle},
journal = {The {J}ournal of {E}xamples},
year = {2016},
}

and in LyX the following line exists on page 3:

Sentence that cites "example_article" on the third page [1].

shows up as:

"

[1] Person, G. A Title / G. Person // The Journal of Examples. — 2016. 3

"

but I want it to just be:

"

[1] Person, G. A Title / G. Person // The Journal of Examples. — 2016.

"

without the page 3 link at the end.


Any ideas? Thanks.

You could try going to Document > Settings > PDF Properties > Hyperlinks and set "Backreferences" to "Off". Does that work? If not it would help if you posted a minimal example, please see https://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample

Thanks! That worked. I didn't think that they would be under a sub-tab of PDF Properties instead of the Bibliography section in settings or the Bibliography menu in the document.

Yeah I know what you mean. The reason why they are all there is that we want all of the hyperref settings in one place.

If anyone has an idea for a better name than "PDF properties", we could consider changing it. We could use "hyperref settings" but that requires the user to know what hyperref is. I'm not sure what's best.
