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 typewriter prl \family default or \family typewriter preprint \family default should go in the \family sans Extra\InsetSpace ~ Options \family default field in the \family sans Document\InsetSpace ~ 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. \end_layout \begin_layout Section methods \end_layout \begin_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 \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 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 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\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{mycitation} \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Acknowledgments Thank you so much! \end_layout \begin_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). \end_layout \end_body \end_document
