[Tex/LaTex] lyx bibliography citation style

bibliographiesbibtexcitinglyx

I create a .bib file

@article {HanKumar2011,
author = {Han, Bing and Kumar, Alok},
title = {Speculative Retail Trading and Asset Prices},
journal = {Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA)},
volume = {Forthcoming},
year = {2011},
}

I then import this file into by .lyx file by doing insert > list/toc > bibtex bibliography. I select the database as the file I have created. The style I select as plainnat. I then go to cite the paper via insert > citation, add the particular id, the preview of the actual cite seems to show up fine. However the problem is that the only citation style available is [#ID] under formatting. I need one that allows me to do author (yyyy). I can't seem to fix this. Does anyone know what's going on?

Seems you have to activate this in the settings, so go to Document --> Settings --> Bibliography, and choose Natbib and author-year as citation style. Then you'll have more styles to choose from.

I suspect that even legal documents should be represented by a BibTeX entry with more than one field (and especially with a year field if one uses an author-year-style), but here goes.

I used the author instead of the title field because BibTeX otherwise would typeset the label V00 in the text.
The second pair of curly braces prevents BibTeX from breaking the "author" down in first name and last name.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{natbib}

\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@misc{V00,
  author = {{\textit{Vodna direktiva (2000/60/EC)}}},
}
\end{filecontents}

\begin{document}

As specified in \citet{V00} \dots

\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{\jobname}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Which publication type for forthcoming papers in BibTeX

For forthcoming articles of the sort that you give in your question, the easiest solution is to simply format them as article type, and then put "to appear" in the pages field. A forthcoming article won't have a page range yet, and when the article is published you will have to add the page range anyway. In the econ bibliography style, (and in fact most bibliography styles for article) the page range appears last in the entry, so it will be formatted as you wish.

Alternatively, (as pointed out in the comments) you can add the "to appear" as a note field. To do this in BibDesk, you need to do the following:

Open the entry for the article
In the Publication menu, choose Add Field
In the pulldown textbox, choose Note

This solution is semantically good, but in practice it may not be as robust as putting the "to appear" in the pages field, since the appearance of the field depends on the particular bibliography style you are using; if the style isn't set up to output the note field, then the problem will reappear.

(Another common way to do this is to not give a year, and replace the year field with "to appear". This will, of course, replace it in both bibliography and citations.)

For chapters in books, the incollection entry type should be used. The inbook entry (which may have been what you were using) is really designed for referring to a particular chapter of a single-authored or edited book; you're not likely to use it much at all, since most citations of that sort can be done using the book entry and adding the chapter reference to the citation command.
