How to use BibTeX for putting a nice publication list in resume with document class (res.cls)

Question

I am trying to put a publication list using BibTex into resume. But I do not know why it does not compile?. Here is my effort.

Following is the code that I want to use BibTex for its publication list

   % LaTeX file for resume 
% This file uses the resume document class (res.cls)

\documentclass{res} 
\usepackage{bibentry}
%\usepackage{helvetica} % uses helvetica postscript font (download helvetica.sty)
%\usepackage{newcent}   % uses new century schoolbook postscript font 
\newsectionwidth{0pt}  % So the text is not indented under section headings
\usepackage{fancyhdr}  % use this package to get a 2 line header
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} % suppress line drawn by default by fancyhdr
\setlength{\headheight}{24pt} % allow room for 2-line header
\setlength{\headsep}{24pt}  % space between header and text
\setlength{\headheight}{24pt} % allow room for 2-line header
\pagestyle{fancy}     % set pagestyle for document
\rhead{ {\it J. Razi}\\{\it p. \thepage} } % put text in header (right side)
\cfooJ. Razit{}                                     % the foot is empty
\topmargin=-0.5in % start text higher on the page

\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty} % this page has no header  
\name{Jack Razi\\[12pt]}% the \\[12pt] adds a blank line after name

Answer 1

You can use the bibentry package with \nobibliography. Here is a MWE with references stored in ref.bib file:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{bibentry}
\begin{document}
  \nobibliography{ref}
  \bibliographystyle{unsrt}

  \section*{Publications}
  \begin{enumerate}
    \item \bibentry{knuth1986}
    \item \bibentry{lamport1986}
  \end{enumerate}
\end{document}

Answer 2

I put together a minimal working example (MWE) for generating a list of publications (e.g. for an academic cv) from Bibtex entries that additionally enables splitting publications into different sections (peer-reviewed, conference abstracts, ...) as well as adding links to the pdf and using your favourite citation style.

The github repo can be found here: https://github.com/rgeirhos/academic-cv-publications, it contains some additional information and a minimal cv.

The LaTeX code is here:

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}

%COMPILING: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
% You'll need to generate a .bbl file from
% the .bib file first, otherwise the publications
% will not show up in the cv.

% in TeXstudio, this means
% 1. F1 or F6 for usual compiling (generate .aux)
% 1. F8 for bibliography compiling (generate .bbl)
% 2. F1 or F6 for usual compiling once more(generate .pdf)

% use your favourite citation style here
\usepackage{apacite}

\usepackage[left=2.5cm,right=2.5cm,top=1.5cm,bottom=2.5cm]{geometry}


% as bibentry and hyperref clash in some cases, this is a workaround
% as suggested by the following two links:
%https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/227933/using-bibentry-to-cite-in-text-reference-with-apacite
% and
%https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/65348/clash-between-bibentry-and-hyperref-with-bibstyle-elsart-harv/65401#65401
\usepackage{bibentry}
\makeatletter\let\saved@bibitem\@bibitem\makeatother
\usepackage[colorlinks=true]{hyperref}
\makeatletter\let\@bibitem\saved@bibitem\makeatother


% hanging publications: 1st line starts at beginning of line, 
% further lines are placed a bit to the right
\usepackage{hanging}
\newcommand\publication[1]{%
    \smallskip\par\hangpara{1.5em}{1}\bibentry{#1}\smallskip
}


\begin{document}

    % bibliography
    \nobibliography{publications.bib}
    \bibliographystyle{apacite} 

    \section*{Publications} 

    % optional: split into different subsections for
    % peer-reviewed articles, conference abstracts, ...

    % example with links
    \publication{Geirhos2017}
        (\href{https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.06969}{link}, \href{https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.06969.pdf}{pdf}, \href{https://github.com/rgeirhos/object-recognition}{data and materials})

    % example without links
    \publication{Knuth1998}

    % the cumbersome way
%   \hangpara{1.5em}{1}Knuth, D. E. (1998). 
%   \textit{The art of computer programming: sorting and searching} (Vol. 3). Pearson Education.
