Springer publisher wants a certain style for references. I tried to make one
by using
latex makebst
It produced springer.dbj. springer .bst and springer.log in my home.
Now I am confused how to proceed.
The existing bst files are spread in
/usr/local/texlive/..
/usr/share/texmf/..
/usr/Tex/texmf-dist/bibtex/..
Where should I transfer the produced springer.dbj. springer .bst and
springer.log?
There's usually a localtexmf directory somewhere. I'm not a TeXLive
user, but I suspect it creates an environment variable showing the
location of localtexmf. My preference is to create a bibtex directory
under localtexmf, then create subdirectories for each style I create
(e.g., .../localtexmf/bibtex/springer). I don't know if the log file is
worth keeping, but the other two are. Once you've placed them there,
run texhash to update the TeX file database, and then I think you'll
need to reconfigure LyX so that it sees the .bst file.
Sofar I used in the preamble
\usepackage[authoryear,comma]{natbib}
and
\bibpunct{}{}{}{a}{}{}
What is the procedure to get the new .bst working?
\usepackage{springer}
after texhash?
After reconfiguring LyX, you should be able to select the .bst file from
the drop down list of choices. Unless you are using a Springer style
file, there is no need for \usepackage{springer}.
\bibpunct determines the way the references are cited in the text?
Yes.
