Doug,

I suppose that if you're collaborating with others on a document you'd want
a document-specific bibliography. On the other hand, there's no harm in
using a single bibliography, even with collaborators.

I'm not sure I understand, but assuming I do I'll answer your questions with
"no" and "yes."

Attached is a sample of a JabRef-inserted citation in the LyX text. I can
click on that grey box and change the format of the citation. Is that the
lyx-citation dialog to which you refer?

As you can see, the citation is inserted in the text and the full reference
is in the bibliographic listing (renamed References) at the end of the
document.

HTH,

Rich
