[Tex/LaTex] LyX: Export Warning! about BibTeX

bibliographiesbibtexlyx

I'm trying to export a LyX file to LaTeX format and getting the following warning.

LyX: Export Warning! There are spaces in the paths of your BibTeX databases. BibTeX will be unable to find them.

Any suggestion to handle this warning. Thanks

The warning is pretty clear: you have a BibTeX (.bib) database file, and it is in a folder which has spaces in the name. LaTeX and BibTeX really do not like spaces in names: do not use them! (Making my comment into an answer.)

The problem is with the underscore in the url. Try using something like

howpublished = "\url{http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/stereo/multimedia/deploy.html}"

or, even better,

url = "http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/stereo/multimedia/deploy.html"

in your .bib file. You should also add to your main .tex file \usepackage{url} or \usepackage{hyperref} (bot not both!).

[Tex/LaTex] How to fix BibTeX warning about missing author or key fields for webpage-type entries

The warning gives you a hint: you can add a key field to you entry.

From the BibTeX manual:

In addition to the fields listed above, each entry type also has an optional key field, used in some styles for alphabetizing, for cross referencing, or for forming a \bibitem label. You should include a key field for any entry whose “author” information is missing;

Accordingly, the given entry can be extended, for example, as

@misc{StanfordScanRep,
  key = {Stanford Scanning Repository},
  title = {{The Stanford 3D Scanning Repository}},
  howpublished = {\url{http://graphics.stanford.edu/data/3Dscanrep/}}
}
