List of Publications using BibTeX source

[aminmkhan]

Added support for including publications through BibLaTeX, based on Fancy CV template created by Adrien Friggeri.

Closes #271.

[chozelinek]

This feature would be awesome!

[johannesbottcher]

The bibliography part of the friggeri cv template broke with the last update of biblatex, threw lots of warnings before, and does some real strange stuff. I would advice against merging that in its current state.

[aminmkhan]

Fixed the issue caused by changes in \DeclareNameFormat in biblatex (see plk/biblatex#372). This should be working fine now.

[ch3ck]

I think it will make more sense if these commits are squashed into one. @aminmkhan

[thiagoveloso]

Nice addition, folks! Any idea on how to match the Publications font to the rest of the document?

[aminmkhan]

@thiagoveloso You can use \setmainfont.

See https://github.com/aminmkhan/Awesome-CV/blob/6c08ff11ff1c388460d60046a1ad0c8b96b2465e/awesome-cv.cls#L202-L209

[thiagoveloso]

@aminmkhan, thank you very much. Haven't used the \setmainfont command, but the changes merged from @jckegelman made my CV's "Publications" section look much better. Help much appreciated.

[andrewcassidy]

Any way to get hyperlinks to the urls?

[aminmkhan]

@andrewcassidy One quick workaround could be to use the note field in *.bib entries.

Better solution would be to play around with \DeclareFieldFormat in the class file awesome-cv.cls.

[SiggiSmara]

I wanted more of the Awesome look for the bibtex entries and took a swipe at achieving that. See here for the end result:

I don't want to tread on anyone's toes but I'm happy to share my changes. If anyone is interested then let me know and I'll see if I can figure out how to add my changes to this pull request.
Awesome job everybody!

[aminmkhan]

Thanks @SiggiSmara. For now you can push your changes to a pull request similar to aminmkhan#2, and we'll see.

[SiggiSmara]

Cool @aminmkhan . Pushed the changes to you. First time for me to push from one fork to another so let me know if I managed to make a mistake along the way.

[omrysendik]

@SiggiSmara can you kindly share an example of how you create a publication entry?
Am I missing it inside @aminmkhan repository? Couldn't find it.

[SiggiSmara]

Sorry @omrysendik I missed your comment. Are you still having trouble? In the examples/cv folder you should see a bibtex file (references.bib) and a publications.tex file. The bibtex file contains the reference information itself while the publications.tex file imports the references that you want to appear.
Let me know if I can help...

[aminmkhan]

@omrysendik You can check the Usage section in README here or in PR.

[syoh]

Thanks for these commits. I made my publication section work based on the latest commit in this thread.

There is one thing I cannot figure out is how to use first initials instead of full first names. Based on some search, it seems I have to use giveninits=true somewhere. My best guess are these mods to awesome-cv.cls:

\RequirePackage[ % BibLaTeX
sorting=ydnt, % Sorts entries by year (descending order), name, title
style=verbose,
doi=false,
isbn=true,
url=false,
eprint=false,
backref = false, % include back references in bibliography
maxcitenames=3, % affects only the citations in the document body
maxbibnames=99, % affects only the bibliography, pass 99 to print all
hyperref=true,
block=none,
uniquename=init,
giveninits=true,
backend=biber % {Options: bibtex, biber}
]{biblatex}

However, the changes have completely no effect (I am using sharelatex.com). Additionally, I tried putting the options in different places; however, my publications section seems to ignore it.

How I can use first initials instead of full first names?

I would appreciate any help

[jckegelman]

@syoh the giveninits=true option is ignored because awesome-cv.cls has its own \DeclareNameFormat that uses \namepartgiven. If you always want to use initials, you can replace \namepartgiven with \namepartgiveni. If you want it to honor the giveninits option, you can use \ifgiveninits{\namepartgiveni}{\namepartgiven}

[ashwinvis]

@syoh Your changes look really elegant. Can you commit and push them online?

EDIT: Never mind. See aminmkhan#6

[ShanSabri]

Is there a way to format an author in bold? Also a way to number publications?

[aminmkhan]

@ShanSabri You can try numerical, though there could be some issues.

You'll have to play with custom code to change formatting for the author.

[avalada]

@donadviser Doesnt give me the same output as your screenshot. I dont get numbers and the journal appears in the new line. Would you mind sharing your cls file?
Thanks for your help!

[donadviser]

@avalada, can you show what it looks like?

[avalada]

[donadviser]

[avalada]

@donadviser almost! Some of the entries have an indentation as in the sceeenshot, any idea how to remove this ident? Is there also a way to set the font size of the numbering?

[aminmkhan]

publication with numbering

@avalada and @donadviser That's great to see it working, if you want you can submit your changes as pull request either here, or at: https://github.com/aminmkhan/Awesome-CV/pulls

Thank you.

[OJFord]

Please do submit here, or update yours if merged in your repo @aminmkhan. This is a very long-standing PR but seems like an excellent addition, I do mean to review properly with a view to merging soon. Thanks.

[aminmkhan]

Thank a lot @OJFord. I have now updated this pull request, with fresh rebase from master and squashing all commits.

Ready to review and land this! 🚀

I have moved some of the suggestions and conversations as issues to aminmkhan#11, aminmkhan#12, aminmkhan#13, aminmkhan#14, and will update in future pull requests.

[aminmkhan]

Just checking @OJFord, can we proceed with the review and merging this PR? Thanks!

[sjiang95]

Awesome work! Looking forward to being merged!

[OJFord]

I think it'd be good to have the example complete - so there's an example of rendered result, and an example of what references.bib should actually look like.

[aminmkhan]

Yes @OJFord I wanted to update the example, but couldn't decide since it doesn't make much sense to update the main example included in preview

Also putting in fictitious bibliography entries to the awesome original creator's CV included in preview wouldn't look nice.

As an alternative, should we upload another example? e.g.

https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV/blob/master/examples/resume-with-publications.pdf

[OJFord]

Apart from that I just want to test a couple of CVs myself and I think good to merge. 👍 Thanks!

[sjiang95]

I have a small question about biber: what is the motivation to use biber instead of bibtex?
When I test this commit today (20230729), I found that the (latest after executing tlmgr update --self --all) texlive 2023 installed biber package but there is no biber binary, for which I had some troubles with this awesome feature.
Is it possible to use bibtex instead of biber cause the former is a common choice to handle bibliography?

[aminmkhan]

@sjiang95 I think you can fairly easily replace the commands with bibtex locally if you are comfortable working with LaTeX. See package settings here.

backend=bibtex

biber generally has better features, you can try reading more here and here in case you are curious.

[sjiang95]

Thanks for your kind explanation. You've done an awesome job.

[sjiang95]

I have tested this pr and believe that it is ready to be merged.👍

[mbhall88]

Any news on merging this @OJFord?

[JJGabe]

I'm not able to get the bibliography section to work for my CV. I copied the entire Bibliography section from the awesome-cv.cls of @aminmkhan into my awesome-cv.cls (I have made some other formatting edits for my own use) and then added a references.tex file, following the example, and put \addbibresource{references.bib} in the preamble of my cv.tex file. However, I am left with just the section and subsection headings; the references are not filled in (see screenshot).

I'm using TeXStudio on Ubuntu 22.04 with a full and up-to-date texlive installation. The build process I'm using is xelatex -> biber -> xelatex. Any advice for this is greatly appreciated, it's the last section I need to complete.

[aminmkhan]

@JJGabe you also need to include the references.bib file with some entries in BibTeX format. The examples/cv/references.bib included is empty.

[JJGabe]

@aminmkhan Sorry, I should have been clearer. I did include my own BibTex file, which I exported from Zotero as a BetterBibTex, but I renamed it references.bib to match your template. Even when I have compiled the CV once, with the \addbibresource included, the autofill options don't show up when I start a nocite() command in the references.tex file, as they usually do with the other articles I have written.

[aminmkhan]

@JJGabe Not sure what's happening, perhaps cross-check that the path to bib file is correct, or check the output log of make / xelatex command for any errors.

\addbibresource{cv/references.bib}

If still not resolved, perhaps report an issue at aminmkhan/Awesome-CV/issues to follow-up. Thanks.

[JJGabe]

@aminmkhan, thanks for the response. I made a couple of changes, including adding an extra Biber compile in my build process (xelatex -> Biber -> Biber -> xelatex) and moving the \addbibresource{} call to the awesome-cv.cls file, immediately following the \RequirePackage{biblatex} block. My references are now working, though I'm not sure which change was responsible....maybe a combination of both.
