And JabRef only a BibTeX database editor. What you pretend could have some sense if LyX and JabRef were two parts of the same program, but that is not the case. If you have additional tips, tricks and neat things that can be done with BibTeX/LyX you are more than welcome to add it here ( add a description of new pages to PageList, included below). What said to LyX that "Foo (2015)" is now "Foo (2014)" is the unchanged key Foo2015īut if you change that key to Foo2014, LyX will lost that reference, irrespectively that you change the field year or not. The article is not so much an application overview, but rather concentrates on the writing process and summarizes experiences of using LyX on. You can then easily access all citations via the citations dialogue in LyX. Then LyX look in that database for Foo2015 to write \cite), the cite and reference will be updated without problems. And generally, LyX can handle its own bibliography (using BibTeX of course) for every document or use a separate bibliography file edited with a BibTeX editor (which I recommend). You change Foo2015 by Bah2015 in the bib file with JabRef.

Since you want to use a new citation, you need to add it to the Lyz.bib file first Now, you can go to your LyX file and scroll to where you want to enter the new citation. Remember, you saved your last citations into the new file Lyz.bib. I also tried renaming the BibTeX record to no avail. Before you insert your Step 28 citations, you need to first Click the 'LyZ' icon and click 'Update BibTex'.

Bad news: The concordance between the key in the cite and the database is only your responsibility. When I click 'Update BibTeX', LyZ shows the 'You are going to update BibTeX database:' warning with the correct path/file.
