Hello,

I need citations according to APA standard for a thesis. Does anyone have experience with that?

From what information I could find, apacite would do it, but I could not find any information online on how to get it to work with Lyx.

Specifically, apacite seems to use different latex comands. Apacite requires \cite for notmal citation and \citeA for citation in text (parentheses only around year). However, Lyx generates either only \cite command (default bibliography) or \citet and \citep for natbib, and uses a different parenthesis structure for additional arguments.

Does anybody know a way to work around this?

In principe it seems like it should not be difficult to add the option to Lyx to write \citeA instead of \citep commands. I myself can only program python though (if that function would actually be acessible in python could anyone point me to where I coud find it?).


Best,
Christian
