Hi Lyx-ianer, i have a special german question. I tried to use the package natbib and bibgerm to include citation references in my lyx-document. In the BibTeX generated references i used the style gerapali.bst and the results were looking quite good. The only thing that i want to get rid of are the short citations in parenthesis in front of the full citation references in the created reference capitel. Is it possible to exclude the short citations and the parenthesis with a TeX command or with simple changes in the gerapali.bst style file? Example: -original: [Author1 et al. 1987] Author1, A., B. Author2 und C. Author3 (1987). title ... -what i want: Author1, A., B. Author2 und C. Author3 (1987). title ... Without the bibgerm package and with the normal apalike.bst it works fine, without any short citations in parenthesis in front of the normal citation references.
