I found out about this package and was really hoping to use it for my CV. However, I'm having an issue with getting it to compile. I have created a minimal working example below.

If I instead use the default bibstyle (by uncommenting line 2 and commenting lines 3&4), it compiles as expected.

I'm using TexLive 2021 with biblatex v3.16 and publist.bbx v1.21.

Hi,
publist produces a strange behavior with the option labelyear=false: an empty pair of parenthesis is added.

2017. »example journal article« In: example journal, vol(no) ( ), S. 94–96.

Setting labelyear=true removes the parenthesis.

I can think of two scenarios where people want to highlight more than one author.

• A CV for a research team (highlight team members in case of collaboration).
• Equal contribution (people often append * to there last names to indicate that which is considered different names in this package).

I produce a publist with the current version of publist (File: publist.bbx 2018/09/01 v.1.11) and get in entries where I am the first author "(with and XX)", but not when I am not the first author (second or later).

Here is a MWE:

i have asked on stackoverflow and others can reproduce the error and suggested it is a small bug. Could you fix it to improve your very useful tool.
Thank you!

In some disciplines it is common to have titles first in the bibliography before writing "(with NN1, NN2), YYYY". I'd very much appreciate that way of organizing the publication list.

Example here of how to do it in biblatex.

BTW. - I really love the package!

the option plnumbered=reset seems to be broken when used together with reversenumbering=true,
as it produces stuff like
8 7 6 5 4 \newrefsecion 8 7
(even counting some unused refs in bibliography file)
instead of
5 4 3 2 1 \newrefsecion 2 1

Hi there: this is a great package, but I don't understand the usage of \newrefsection? IN your examples, the arguments always match the filename of the correspondng bibliography file.

\addbibresource{%
mymonographs.bib
}

\newrefsource[mymonographs]

What is the connection between the two? \newrefsource is not fully explained.

Lieber Jürgen,
My use case is that I would like to have two sets of continuously numbered refsections: one for publications, containing multiple refsections for different types of publications; and one for presentations, also containing multiple refsections. I'm looking for a way to achieve this using your package. (Thank you for this package!! I love it!) I think the easiest option would be to include a command that resets the label numbers at the right position in my document. I don't have any experience writing packages, so I'm struggling to figure out what that command should be. Could you please help me?
Danke!
Lg Sabine

I like the idea to print the publication year on the left of the publication list once a new year starts. However, is it possible to put it outside the margin? That is increasing the left margin of the publication list and making the printed year align with the start of the paragraph.

A bit opposite to the other enhancement request on here, I was thinking of (and hoping for) a way to use just an initial, or some sort of wildcard, to highlight all of the occurrences of the author's name.

The standard style causes two problems for me:

1. I am cited at times by first initial, at times by first and middle initials, at times by full first name, and at times by first name with initials.
2. I have published several works with family members, meaning that I cannot just highlight my last name without giving a value to the first name variable.

Thought on if this would be feasible? I tried using a wildcard after my first initial, but that didn't work, though it may be something easy to add on the backend.

I miss a comma in the list of authors when I am named as a second author:

Here is the corresponding *.bib file entry (extracted from an external file named myarticles.bib):

@Article{pmid19998579,
	Author="Metzner, J.E.  and Frank, T.  and Kunz, I.  and Burger, D.  and Riegger, C. ",
	Title="{{S}tudy on the pharmacokinetics of synthetic genistein after multiple oral intake in post-menopausal women}",
	Journal="Arzneimittelforschung",
	Year="2009",
	Volume="59",
	Issue="10",
	Pages="513--520",
	doi={10.1055/s-0031-1296435},
	url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1055/s-0031-1296435}
}

The main *.tex file to compile the publication list contains this:

\usepackage{csquotes} % not strictly needed, but recommended for biblatex 
\usepackage[style=publist, backend=biber, url=true, doi=true, isbn=true,  sorting=ddnt, plauthorhandling=highlight]{biblatex} %Referenzen erzeugen mit BIBER
\plauthorname[T.]{Frank}
% load the bibliographic databases
\addbibresource{%
	myarticles.bib,
	mybooks.bib
	myproceedings.bib
}

Using the fixyear=false option:

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@article{article,
  author    =   {Mouse, Adrian},
  title     =   {A Tall Tail},
  journal   =   {Tales to Nibble By},
  pages     =   {1--9},
  volume    =   {31},
  number    =   {4},
  year      =   {1989},
}
\end{filecontents}

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[
    bibstyle = publist,
    fixyear = false,
]{biblatex}
    \plauthorname[Adrian]{Mouse}
    \bibliography{\jobname}

\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

generates entries that look like this:

It looks like the name and date is removed, but the period following one of them still remains (also, empty date brackets).

One of the main features of biblatex-publist is the filtering out of the author's name. But in some places it should not happen, such as when one is a co-editor of a volume in which one also publishes a chapter. Of course, when making an entry for that volume itself (2) it is fine, but when referring to the chapter in the volume (1) my name is simply missing from the editors.

\documentclass{article}
\begin{filecontents}{ref.bib}
@collection {FilliozatGoodallPasedach2020,

When using the biblatex-publist style, it does not work any more to swap the order of the first and last names as shown here:

\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{last-first}
\DeclareNameAlias{default}{last-first}

This is probably a nice feature to have.

Hello there

Thanks for making publist, it is great and easy to work with!

I was wondering whether you have thought about allowing users of the package to turn title of bibliography references (papers, books, etc.) into clickable links? The source of the URL for the link could be specified in the bibtex file. The implementation could perhaps build on the solution found in this StackExchange thread.

Hello there,

thank you for putting together these highly useful tools!

I am using biblatex-publist on top of the 'nejm' bibliography style.

I would like publication dates to be displayed is in the default 'nejm' style, that is, towards the end of the line.

With biblatex-publist, I get something like this:
Fiala, EM, Ortiz, MV, Kennedy, JA, Glodzik, D, Fleischut, MH, Duffy, KA, et al. 2020. 11p15. 5 epimutations in children with Wilms tumor and hepatoblastoma detected in peripheral blood. Cancer. 126:3114–21.

With biblatex-publist, Is there a way to move the publication year towards the end of the line, in accordance with the baseline bibliography style?

Best & thank you
Dominik

Here are some relevant lines from my .tex file:
\newcommand*\publistbasestyle{nejm} \usepackage[style=publist,plauthorhandling=highlight,boldyear=false,pubstateextra=false,plauthorfirstinit=true, minnames=6,marginyear=true]{biblatex}

I managed to get the bibliography into the form I needed with marginyear, highlighted author and nobold year but I do not manage to get the bibliography in the authoryear style.
No matter what I do it falls back onto the numeric style (my goal is to get rid of the [x] in front of each entry) .
I used without success different combinations of
\newcommand*\publistbasestyle{authoryear}, bibstyle=publist, style=publist.
I enclose part of the log file which contains the following lines:

…

Hello,

First of all thanks for your work! I'm trying to use biblatex-publist with an external base style called biblatex-enc and if things go pretty smoothly, I encountered a problem related to the formatting of article entries.

In biblatex-enc there are macros that print year field in parentheses. When using that style with biblatex-publist the year field is displayed at the begining of the reference as expected, but the parentheses from biblatex-enc are left empty. Here is an exemple:

Any hint on how to solve that issue? Thanks in advance

I am trying to change the base style to phys. However, there is an error message, which I don't know how to solve, Package biblatex Error: Bibliography macro '\NoCaseChange {bpl:linked}' undefined.

Is there anything I need to change to make it works? Thank you!

While reference lists are often space-constrained and have to squeeze everything into one line, publication-lists usually don't.

Is it within the scope of this package to have an option such that the various elements may be displayed on separate lines?

For example:

Author
Year, Title
Reference

This would make it much more readable.

Version 3.8 of biblatex is scheduled for release quite soon.

As far as I can see none of the breaking changes should affect your package, but there are a few name changes/deprecations planned that are relevant for you:

• extrayear is deprecated now and replaced by extradate, all macros with extrayear in their name were also renamed.
• \DeclareSortingScheme is now \DeclareSortingTemplate

Backwards compatibility code is in place for both of these changes, but it would still be appreciated if styles could move to the new names sooner rather than later.

The full list of changes can be found at https://github.com/plk/biblatex/blob/dev/doc/latex/biblatex/CHANGES.org and https://github.com/plk/biblatex/wiki

which produces

Appleby, Humphrey and Woolley, Bernard. 2019. On the Importance of the Civil Service.

Reventlov, R. Giskard is not highlighted as expected.

If I understand correctly the problem here is caused by the difference between the name formatting in \indexnames and \printnames. At the moment \bpl@normalize tries to ignore these differences by setting \bibnamedelima and \bibnamedelimb to their \bibindexnamedelim... equivalent.

You should be able to get the same normalisation more elegantly and more comprehensively also for \bibnamedelimi (which is the problem here and possibly other relevant macros) with \blx@indexnamesetup (https://github.com/plk/biblatex/blob/2ddd2836927d08ac600c8fa3af1897417548ac05/tex/latex/biblatex/biblatex.sty#L4592-L4600)

Dear Author,
if I am allowed to request a feature, I would like to have an option of the inverse numbering of the publications, from the latest to the earliest. See an example here:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/563317/inverse-numbering-with-publist/

This option is useful when you have dozens of publications spreading on a few pages: you do not need to go all the way down in order to know the total amount of your publications.

I encountered an issue when using related fields in a resume. The plauthor name would show in the entries which followed an entry with a related field. I solved the issue by changing the code as follows (line before last from \toggletrue to \togglefalse):

% This is to prevent author omission in such cases.
\newtoggle{isinrelated}
\apptocmd{\abx@macro@begrelated}{\global\toggletrue{isinrelated}}{}%
         {\PackageWarning{biblatex-publist}{Patching begrelated failed!}}
\apptocmd{\abx@macro@endrelated}{\global\togglefalse{isinrelated}}{}%
         {\PackageWarning{biblatex-publist}{Patching endrelated failed!}}

I am unsure whether this is a bug in publist or an incompatibility with my own bibliography style or usage of the related field (in this case, for putting two items on the same line/block). In any event, feedback would be appreciated.

I know citations are not really the purpose of the package, but I wonder nevertheless if the output of \textcite is actually intended:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=publist]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
\textcite{doody}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

Currently the code to add a dummy shortauthor uses \DeclareSourcemap

Would it be possible to use \DeclareStyleSourcemap instead (as in ll. 1057-1081)?

Use of \DeclareStyleSourcemap instead of \DeclareSourcemap would allow end users to save the shortauthor value to restore its original value with a combination of \DeclareSourcemap and \DeclareStyleSourcemap.

I've come across a problem wherein if there is a period after someone's initial (be it middle initial or an initial for their first name) the "and" directly following it is capitalized.
E.g. if the article is written by John J. Doe and Jane D. Smith, the citation will read: Doe, John J. And Smith, Jane D.

Hi, I noticed the package deprecated that option recently, but I tried both the new solution and reverting back to the previous reversenumbering option, but in both cases I am only seeing negative numbers instead of the desired output of global reverse count of papers.

Would it be possible to create an option to put coauthors at the end of the entry, like in the example below?

Publication title, 2014, Obscure Academic Journal 68, 116-136, (with S. Else and O. Person).

Hello,

I cannot get publist and backend=bibtex to work together, as in

\documentclass{article}

%\usepackage[bibstyle=publist,backend=bibtex,style=authoryear]{biblatex}
%\plauthorname{Hanck} % gives undefined control sequence

\usepackage[backend=bibtex,style=authoryear]{biblatex} % works as mwe, but without publist

\begin{filecontents}{jobname.bib}

title = {Multiple Testing for No Cointegration under Nonstationary Volatility},
year = {2017+},
journal = {Oxford Bulletin},
}
\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{jobname.bib}

\begin{document}
\cite{Demetrescu+Hanck-CauchyCoint:17+}
\end{document}

Is that behavior to be expected? If so, are there any workarounds to get publist to cooperate with backend=bibtex?

Best wishes
Christoph

P.S. Nice to see an add-on to biblatex, a long time ago you helped me with an early hack, see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.text.tex/cI3Y-tTV7j4

When including editor names in a reference (e.g. Editor = {X Y and P Q}) with the \omitname command. The editors are changes to take have the form Eds.: (with Y,X ... ) .
It would seem better to only parse the author names and not the editor names.

publist uses \edef on commands containing text. This can easily break:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=publist]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
cite \cite{aksin},

\end{document}

errors when reading the bbl with

 (./test-nomgt.bbl
! Illegal parameter number in definition of \@tempb.
<to be read again> 
                   \crcr 
l.89     \endentry

as Ç is (with OT1) not safe in an edef as used by \bpl@ifstreq:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=publist]{biblatex}

\begin{document}
\makeatletter
\def\testA{Çetinkaya}
\def\testB{blub}
\bpl@ifstreq\testA\testB{whatever true}{whatever false} %errors
\makeatother
\end{document}

In this case the error can be avoided by using

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\bpl@ifstreq[2]{%
    \begingroup\protected@edef\@tempa{#1}\protected@edef\@tempb{#2}%
    \ifx\@tempa\@tempb
        \endgroup\expandafter\@firstoftwo
    \else
        \endgroup\expandafter\@secondoftwo
    \fi
}
\makeatletter

There can be other places where \protected@edef is needed instead of \edef.

Hi, great package! Here is a problem. I prefer to use the bib styles that put the year field at the end (but before eprints), such as ieee and trad-unsrt. When I try to use \newcommand*\publistbasestyle{<stylename>} to change the base style, it looks like publist just ignores the order setting for the year field and still puts it right after the author. Is this hard-coded? Are there any simple methods to make it follow the setting of the base style? Thanks!

I am using the following settings:

\newcommand*\publistbasestyle{trad-unsrt}
\usepackage[bibstyle=publist,hlyear=false,nameorder=given-family,plauthorhandling=highlight,plsorting=ddnt]{biblatex}

When you print the bibliography with the option \printbibliography[filter=mine] the numerotation of the list remains as if the references filtered out were still there. For example my list starts with number 2 instead of 1 because the first reference has been filtered out.

Hello, first of all, thank you for making this. I was bashing my head in with various biblatex hacks trying to come close to this.

I have a feature request:
Would it be possible to print the author list with the plauthorname highlighted but without having to display a very long author list? Essentially I'm looking for an output like this

First. Author, ... My. Name, et al. July 2020 (Rest of citation details).

How many authors are displayed before the ellipses would be determined by the maxnames biblatex option as normal.

In the author list from biblatex publist as installed today in MikTex, the result shows the word 'and' appearing twice in each reference with more than two authors.
This is not the desired output.

The input file is not too complicated, and the bibliiography is just generated from WoK download. If I use ordinary Bibtex it doesn't do that (but doesn;t also do some extra features that publist provides! )
For example: (boldface added by me)

Cai, B. Wang, J. Kao, A. Pericleous, K. Phillion, A. B. And Atwood,
R. C. And Lee, P. D. 2016. “4D synchrotron X-ray tomographic quantifi-
cation of the transition from cellular to dendrite growth during directional
solidification”. In: ACTA MATERIALIA 117, 160–169. issn: 1359-6454.
doi: {10.1016/j.actamat.2016.07.002}.

Thank you

Hi!
Thanks for your package!
In science, the publication lists often require (or at least as a nice-to-have) to bold-print your name in a multi-author publication, could this be added as an option to your package?
Like this:

Smith, John; Baker, Alfred ; Sonders, Sven ...

Just a quick question: what's the recommended format for seminars and conference talks in the bib file?

What I'd like it to print:
for seminar: name of university/dept, full date
for conf talk: name of conference/workshop, full date

Thanks!

Lieber Jürgen,
if I use a combination of \cite and \nocite, the label of the first reference in \cite is set to 1. As a consequence other entries in the bibliography can have negative numbers. It would be desirable, if the labels and sorting are set by \nocite instead.

My MWE is below.

Thanks,
Sven

Thank you for the wonderful work!

Is it possible to expose the internal counters to yield the total count within each \refsection?

I had a go with defining

\makeatletter
\newcommand{\accessbpl}[1]{%
  \csname bpl@#1\endcsname%
}
\makeatother

and trying

     Count is \accessbpl{itemtotal} or is it \theplnumgroup or even \accessbpl{savesecitems}

but no joy.

Is it possible to modify the package so that each \newrefsection[] has its own options?

Say I want the author names highlighted in a list of publications, but hidden in a list of conferences.

It would also be nice if it were possible to switch base-styles, but that might not be easy.

As stated in the title. I would expect the year number on the margin to be on the first line where the entry starts. Example:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{filecontents}
\usepackage[bibstyle=publist,marginyear=true,plauthorhandling=highlight]{biblatex}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
  @article{long,
    author = {Long, Long and Longlong, Longlong and Longlonglong,
      Longlonglong and Longlonglonglong, L},
    title = {Long author name},
    year = {2017},
    journal = {Long name}
}
\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography

\end{document}

Output:

test.pdf

How does one go about getting author annotations work with publist. Apart from plauthor, I have other author annotations in the biblatex file like author+an = {1:student}. When doing \renewcommand*{\mkbibnamefamily}[1]{\ifitemannotation{student}{#1*}{#1}}, publist sort of overrides this. How do turn off this overriding.

I get negative reference numbers when using reversenumbering=true,plnumbered=reset as can be seen from sections 1 and 3 in the working example attached.
It's built using latexmk -pdf -shell-escape --output-directory=build publist.
Any ideas how to address this issue?

The following minimal example results in a partial bibliography with non-positive reference labels for the first section:

I'm using only the default settings with biblatex-publist (e.g., no special sorting or anything):

% main.tex
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[style=publist]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{publications.bib}

\nocite{*}

\begin{document}

\section{Journal Articles}
\printbibliography[heading=none, type=article]

\section{Conference Proceedings}
\printbibliography[heading=none, type=inproceedings]

\end{document}

% references.bib
@INPROCEEDINGS{conf-a,
  title = {Conference Paper A},
  author = {Appleseed, Johnny},
  booktitle = {Proc. A},
  date = {2023-07}
}

@INPROCEEDINGS{conf-b,
  title = {Conference Paper B},
  author = {Appleseed, Johnny},
  booktitle = {Proc. B},
  date = {2022-02}
}

@ARTICLE{journ-1,
  title = {Journal Paper 1},
  author = {Appleseed, Johnny},
  journaltitle = {Journal 1},
  date = {2021-12}
}

@ARTICLE{journ-2,
  title = {Journal Paper 2},
  author = {Appleseed, Johnny},
  journaltitle = {Journal 2},
  date = {2021-10}
}

@ARTICLE{journ-3,
  title = {Journal Paper 3},
  author = {Appleseed, Johnny},
  journaltitle = {Journal 3},
  date = {2023-03}
}

@INPROCEEDINGS{conf-c,
  title = {Conference Paper C},
  author = {Appleseed, Johnny},
  booktitle = {Proc. C},
  date = {2020-12}
}

One more useful feature to implement would be the literal numbering of the unpublished items. For example, if there are two, or more, publications indicated as Forthcoming, they should be labeled as Forthcoming a, Forthcoming b, etc. As for now, all the forthcoming (or other unpublished) items repeat the same label with no differentiation, which is a bit redundant (see the example below).

I'm unsure if this issue is related to the other issue I opened, so I decided to open them separately.
With the same setup as the previous (i.e. any initial followed by a period), there is no longer a comma following the name.
E.g. if John J. Doe, Jane D. Smith, and George R. Martin wrote an article, it shows up as: Doe, John J. Smith, Jane D. And Martin, George R. (the And capitalization is the same as the last issue).

Dear Jürgen,
the aforementioned options won't work together. The margin years are not printed. When labeldate=true is set margins are typesetted -- but also year labels (2000a, 2000b, etc.) in random manner.

Using v2.1 and TeXLive 2021 or 2022 or Overleaf, I have an error when using "ddt" sorting. The following test example works for ydmdt, but not ddt. Thanks.

\documentclass{article}

% Works fine
\usepackage[bibstyle=publist,plsorting=ydmdt]{biblatex}

% But ddt does not. Error:
% No \begin{document} command was found. Make sure you have included \begin{document} in your preamble, and that your main document is set correctly.
% \usepackage[bibstyle=publist,plsorting=ddt]{biblatex}

\plauthorname{MyName}

\begin{filecontents}{mybib.bib}
@Article{ref1,
  author = {Lastname, Firstname},
  title = {Article entry},
  journaltitle = {Journal},
  volume = {12},
  date = {2001-01},
  pages = {100}
  }
\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{mybib.bib}
