It should be interesting. \layout Standard \begin_inset Note collapsed true \layout Standard You don't have to write \backslash maketitle.. LyX does this by itself. \end_inset \layout Section introduction \layout Standard Any of the style options, like \family typewriter prl \family default or \family typewriter preprint \family default should go in the \family sans Extra\SpecialChar ~ Options \family default field in the \family sans Document\SpecialChar ~ Layout \family default popup (accessed from the \family sans Layout \family default menu). See the REVTeX 4 manual for style options, special macros, and the like. \layout Section methods \layout Standard Special REVTeX macros must be typed in TeX mode, so typing \family typewriter \backslash openone \family default in TeX mode yields \begin_inset ERT status Collapsed \layout Standard \backslash openone{} \end_inset . REVTeX macros can also be used freely in the math editor, so you can type \begin_inset Formula $\sqrt{\overstar{a}}>b$ \end_inset , for example, which uses the REVTeX \family typewriter \backslash overstar \family default command. \layout Standard You can do a bibliography by hand, as shown below, but it may be easier to erase that and use BibTeX---in fact, APS encourages authors to use BibTeX. If you do use BibTeX, use the REVTeX bibliography style file, \family typewriter revtex.bst \family default (i.e., just put \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset revtex \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset in the \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset style \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset box in the \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Lists\SpecialChar ~ &\SpecialChar ~ TOC\SpecialChar \menuseparator BibTeX\SpecialChar ~ Reference \family default popup). With either method, you can cite references with the LyX citation commands \begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{mycitation} \end_inset . \layout Acknowledgments Thank you so much! \layout Bibliography \bibitem {mycitation} Author, \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Title \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset , Journal \series bold Volume \series default , page--numbers (year). \the_end
