LyX ⇒ Inconsistent Style in Bibliography

[johnscot]

Hi,

I used LyX to write my PhD thesis. I used JabRef to manage the BibTeX files. One thing which I am having a problem with is that some references are inserted into my LyX bibliography as: Initial Author_surname and some are: firstname Author_surname.

I was criticized for the inconsistency of style.

I downloaded my references via JabRef from pubmed/medline.

I have traced back this difference to the source BibTeX files, two examples of the BibTeX files are shown at the end of this mail.

So I guess I am wondering, is it possible if the author format in bibtex is:

author = {Nancy E Adler and Katherine Newman}

to somehow display that in the: Initial _Authorsurname style without having to manually edit all the offending raw BibTeX files?

The references in LyX look like [auth][year] but in the resulting PDF that is created the style in the bibliography can vary. I'm not sure whether i can change something in LyX, JabRef or BibTeX source to address this problem.

I believe I have used the same style throughout my LyX document.

Any advice would be a big help!

Thanks!
