SigmaCV v0.1.0
SigmaCV is live at https://sigmacv.org 🎉
SigmaCV is a free, open-source tool that auto-generates clean, customizable academic CVs from the public research record — no manual data entry. Sign in with your ORCID iD and your CV is built for you; then curate it, style it, and export or publish.
Highlights
- Identifier-based matching — finds your work by ORCID / OpenAlex ID, never by name string, so far fewer wrong-person mix-ups.
- One canonical CV → every format — PDF, Word (DOCX), LaTeX, Markdown, BibTeX, CSL-JSON, JSON Résumé, and an NIH biosketch, all from a single source of truth.
- Consistent citations — one CSL engine means identical, correctly formatted references in every output.
- 58 one-click CV layouts — funder / institution / industry templates (UKRI R4RI, Royal Society, SNSF, NIH, NSF, ERC, an ICH-GCP clinical-investigator CV, and more).
- Living public page — optionally publish a CV that re-syncs from the open record and is machine-readable (JSON-LD).
- 12 open data sources — OpenAlex, ORCID, Crossref, Open Editors Plus, DataCite, OpenAIRE, DBLP, national funders, and clinical-trial registries among them.
- Responsible metrics — off by default and opt-in; prefers field-normalized indicators; never shows a journal Impact Factor.
- 10 languages, with privacy-first design: per-field publish consent, data export, and account deletion.
Open & self-hostable
Apache-2.0 licensed and fully self-hostable — no lock-in to any hosted instance. Built as open infrastructure for responsible research assessment (DORA-aligned, FAIR).
First public release. "SigmaCV" is a working title (tied to the Sigma-Score bibliometric index) and may change.
