It should be interesting. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Note Note status collapsed \begin_layout Standard You don't have to write \backslash maketitle.. LyX does this by itself. \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Section introduction \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Any of the style options, like \family default \family typewriter prl \family default or \family default \family typewriter preprint \family default should go in the \family default \family sans Extra\InsetSpace ~ Options \family default field in the \family default \family sans Document\InsetSpace ~ Layout \family default popup (accessed from the \family default \family sans Layout \family default menu). See the REVTeX 4 manual for style options, special macros, and the like. \end_layout \begin_layout Section methods \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Special REVTeX macros must be typed in TeX mode, so typing \family default \family typewriter \backslash openone \family default in TeX mode yields \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Standard \backslash openone{} \end_layout \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 default \family typewriter \backslash overstar \family default command. \end_layout \begin_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 default \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 default \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Lists\InsetSpace ~ &\InsetSpace ~ TOC\SpecialChar \menuseparator BibTeX\InsetSpace ~ Reference \family default popup). With either method, you can cite references with the LyX citation commands \begin_inset LatexCommand cite key "mycitation" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Acknowledgments Thank you so much! \end_layout \begin_layout Bibliography \begin_inset LatexCommand bibitem key "mycitation" \end_inset Author, \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Title \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset , Journal \series default \series bold Volume \series default , page--numbers (year). \end_layout \end_body \end_document
