I'm a new user of Lyx and I am writing a thesis by using the default bibliography (i.e. I use the "class" bibliography instead of standard/chapter, etc.).

In the bibliography, as a key I need to put 2 authors, for example: XXX, YYY (2010) and then cite it. For example: "In XXX, YYY (2010) the authors argue that..."

Unfortunately, when I cite it the resulting text is: "In XXX,YYY (2010) the authors argue that..." without any space after the comma. Also, if I click on the reference it seems like Lyx is splitting the reference into 2 references: XXX and YYY (2010) using the comma as the splitter.

I wanted to ask if someone knows how to leave the space after the comma and obtain: "In XXX, YYY (2010) the authors argue that..."

Thanks a lot to whoever can help.

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! Could you post a minimal working example showing the problem? – Vincent Mar 03 '20 at 22:24
  • XXX, YYY (2010) should be the label ot the bibitem, not the key, that should be a single unique word as xxx10, so that the code produce must be In \cite{foo} the authors argue that ... and later \bibitem[XXX, YYY (2010)]{foo} ... – Fran Mar 03 '20 at 22:46
  • BTW, this is the worst approach to make a bibliography. LyX suport also bibtex\bilatex but you should know first how these approaches works in LaTeX (see here, for instance) to understand what to do in Document > Settings > bibliography. – Fran Mar 03 '20 at 22:54
