The style file draws on \bibltx's \emph{authoryear} style, but provides some extra features needed for publication lists, such as the omission of the own name from author or editor data. The package requires at least version 2.0 of the \bibltx\ package\footnote{For \bibltx, see \url{http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex}.} and \texttt{biber}. \end{abstract} \section{Aim of the package} The \bpl\ package ships a \emph{biblatex bibliography style file} ({*}.bbx) for a specific task: academic publication lists. Such lists, which are a central part of the academic CV, contain all or selected publications of a specific author, usually sorted by genre and year. Even though publication lists are actually nothing else than (specific) bibliographies, they diverge from those in some respects. Most notably, it is widespread practice to omit your own name in your publication list and only list your co-authors, if there are any. If you want to follow this practice, a normal bibliography style does not produce the desired result. Given the fact that maintaining a publication list is a routine task in an academian's life, it is surprising how few specified solutions exist to generate such lists (particularly from Bib\TeX\ data). For traditional Bib\TeX, Nicolas Markey provided a specific Bib\TeX\ style file, \emph{publist.bst}% \footnote{\url{http://www.lsv.ens-cachan.fr/~markey/BibTeX/publist/?lang=en}; see also \cite{ttb}.}, which helps a lot if you want to produce a publication list with Bib\TeX. The \bpl\ package is the result of the aim of emulating the features of \emph{publist.bst} with \bibltx's means. It partly draws on Markey's conceptual ideas. Bug reports, comments and ideas are welcome. \section{Loading the package} \subsection{Standard usage\label{sec:standard-usage}} The standard way of using the package is to load the style file via \begin{quote} \begin{lstlisting}[language={[LaTeX]TeX},moretexcs={[1]{omitname}}] \usepackage[bibstyle=publist]{biblatex} \omitname[first name][von-part]{surname} \end{lstlisting} \end{quote} The \jcsmacro*{omitname} macro (at least with the mandatory \emph{surname} argument) needs to be given once. It informs the style file which name it should suppress in the author\slash editor list (usually yours). That is to say: For all of your publications where you are the sole author or editor, the author\slash editor name will be omitted completely, as in: \begin{quote} \textbf{2012.} Some recent trends in gardening. In: \emph{Gardening Practice} 56, pp.~34--86. \end{quote} If there are co-authors\slash co-editors, your name will be filtered out and the collaborators added in parentheses, as in: \begin{quote} \textbf{1987} (with John Doe and Mary Hall). Are there new trends in gardening? In: \emph{Gardening Practice} 24, pp.~10--15. \end{quote} \subsection{Additional options} Currently, the following additional options are provided (next to the options provided by the \bibltx\ package itself% \footnote{Please refer to the \bibltx\ manual \cite{bibltx} for those.}): \begin{description} \item [{\joption{omitname}=}] \item [{\joption{omitfirstname=}}] \item [{\joption{omitnameprefix=}}] ~ This is an alternative to the \jcsmacro{omitname} macro described in sec.~\ref{sec:standard-usage}. However, due to the way bibliography options are implemented in \bibltx, this only works if your name does not consist of non-ASCII characters. Hence, the \jcsmacro{omitname} macro is the recommended way. \item [{\joption{boldyear{[}=true|false{]}}}] default: \emph{true}. By default, the year (or pubstate, if no year is given) is printed in bold face. To prevent this, pass the option \joption{boldyear=false} to \bibltx. \item [{\joption{marginyear{[}=true|false{]}}}] default: \emph{false}. With this option set to \joption{true}, the publication year (or pubstate) will be printed in the margin once a new year starts. The option also has the effect that all marginpars are printed ``reversed'', i.\,e. on the left side in one-sided documents (via \jfcsmacro{reversemarginpar}). \end{description} \noindent The appearance of the \emph{marginyear} is controlled by the \jcsmacro*{plmarginyear} macro, which has the following default definition: \begin{quote} \begin{lstlisting}[language={[LaTeX]TeX}, moretexcs={[2]{providecommand,plmarginyear}}] \providecommand*\plmarginyear[1]{% \raggedleft\small\textbf{#1}% } \end{lstlisting}\end{quote} If you want to change the appearance, just redefine this macro via \jfcsmacro{renewcommand{*}}. \section{Localization} Since the package draws on \bibltx, it supports localization. The following additional localization keys (\jfcsmacro{bibstrings}) are added by the package: \begin{itemize} \item \emph{with}: the preposition ``with'' that precedes the list of co-authors. \item \emph{parttranslationof}: the expression ``partial translation of'' for entries referring to partially translated work via \bibltx's ``related entries'' feature (see sec.~\ref{sec:partial-translations}). \end{itemize} Currently, these additional localization keys are available in the following languages: English, French and German.% \footnote{Please send suggestions for other languages to the package author.} \section{Further Extensions} The following extensions of standard \bibltx\ features are provided. \subsection{Review bibliography type}\label{sec:review-bibliography-type} Although a \emph{review} entry type is provided by \bibltx, this type is treated as an alias for \emph{article}. The \bpl\ package uses this entry type for a specific purpose: Foreign reviews of your own work. It therefore defines a new bibliography environment \emph{reviews} with a specific look (particularly as far as the author names are concerned) and its own numbering; furthermore, it redefines the \emph{review} bibliography driver. The purpose of this is that you can add other people's reviews of your work to your publication list, while these titles are clearly marked and do not interfere with the overall numbering (see sec.~\ref{sec:example} for an example). \subsection{Partial translations}\label{sec:partial-translations} A new ``related entry'' type \emph{parttranslationof} is provided. This is an addition to the \emph{translationof} related entry type \bibltx\ itself provides. Please refer to the \bibltx\ manual \cite{bibltx} on what ``related entries'' are and how to use them. \section{An example}\label{sec:example} Publication lists are usually categorized by genre (monographs, articles, book chapters, etc.). For this task, the use of \jfmacro{refsections} is suggested. Other possibilities were not tested extensively and might fail. The suggested procedure is to maintain separate bib files for each category, say \emph{mymonographs.bib}, \emph{myarticles.bib}, \emph{myproceedings.bib}.% \footnote{But see sec.~\ref{sec:filtering} for an alternative.} Then a typical file would look like example~\ref{example} (p.~\pageref{example}). \begin{lstlisting}[caption={Typical document}, float, frame=single, label={example}, language={[LaTeX]TeX}, moretexcs={[4]{omitname,addbibresource,printbibliography,maketitle}}] \documentclass{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[latin9]{inputenc} \usepackage{csquotes}% not required, but recommended \usepackage[bibstyle=publist]{biblatex} \omitname[John]{Doe} \addbibresource{% mymonographs.bib, myarticles.bib, myproceedings.bib } \begin{document} \title{John Doe's publications} \date{\today} \maketitle \section{Monographs} \begin{refsection}[mymonographs] \nocite{*} \printbibliography[heading=none] \end{refsection} \section{Proceedings} \begin{refsection}[myproceedings] \nocite{*} \printbibliography[heading=none] \end{refsection} \section{Articles} \begin{refsection}[myarticles] \nocite{*} \printbibliography[heading=none] \end{refsection} \end{document} \end{lstlisting} If you want to add other people's reviews of your work, add a section such as the following: \begin{quote} \begin{lstlisting}[caption={Adding foreign reviews}, frame=single, language={[LaTeX]TeX}, moretexcs={[3]{bibfont,subsubsection,printbibliography}}] \subsubsection*{Reviews of my thesis} \begin{refsection}[mythesis-reviews] \renewcommand\bibfont{\small} \nocite{*} \printbibliography[heading=none,env=reviews] \end{refsection} \end{lstlisting} \end{quote} Note that the \jfcsmacro{printbibliography} option \joption{env=reviews} is crucial if you want to use the specifics \bpl\ defines for reviews (see sec.~\ref{sec:review-bibliography-type}). \section{Filtering\label{sec:filtering}} If you have a bibliographic database consisting not only of your own publications, you can extract yours with the bibliography filter \joption{mine}, which has to be passed to \jfcsmacro{printbibliography}, as in: \begin{quote} \begin{lstlisting}[caption={Using a bibliography filter}, frame=single, language={[LaTeX]TeX}, moretexcs={[1]{printbibliography}}] \begin{refsection}[mybibliography] \nocite{*} \printbibliography[heading=none,filter=mine] \end{refsection} \end{lstlisting} \end{quote} Of course, you can also use other filter possibilities provided by \bibltx, such as filtering by type or by keyword. So if you want to extract all of your articles from a larger database with entries of diverse type and authors, specify: \begin{quote} \begin{lstlisting}[language={[LaTeX]TeX}, moretexcs={[1]{printbibliography}}] \printbibliography[heading=none,filter=mine,type=article] \end{lstlisting} \end{quote} \section{Sorting\label{sec:sorting}} The sorting of the items is done via \bibltx's sorting mechanism (please refer to the \bibltx\ manual for details). By default, \bpl\ uses the \jfmacro{ydnt} scheme, which sorts hierarchically by year (descending), name and title (both ascending). You can switch to another scheme via \bibltx's \jfmacro{sorting} option either globally (if you pass \jfmacro{sorting=} to the \bibltx\ options) or locally (if you pass \jfmacro{sorting=} to the \jfcsmacro{printbibliography} options). For convenience, \bpl\ provides 3 additional sorting schemes, which might be particularly useful for sorting talks: \begin{itemize} \item \jmacro{ddnt}: Sort by full \textbf{d}ate (\textbf{d}escending), \textbf{n}ame and \textbf{t}itle (both ascending). \item \jmacro{ydmdnt}: Sort by \textbf{y}ear (\textbf{d}escending), \textbf{m}onth, \textbf{d}ay, \textbf{n}ame and \textbf{t}itle (all ascending). \item \jmacro{dnt}: Sort by full \textbf{d}ate, \textbf{n}ame and \textbf{t}itle (all ascending). \end{itemize} That is, to sort your talks in descending order by full date in your CV, use: \begin{quote} \begin{lstlisting}[language={[LaTeX]TeX}, moretexcs={[1]{printbibliography}}] \printbibliography[heading=none,sorting=ddnt] \end{lstlisting} \end{quote} \section{Revision Log} \begin{description} \item [{V.~1.0~(2015-01-04):}]~ \begin{itemize} \item Add portmanteau *.cbx file to allow loading \bpl\ also via the \joption{style} option (next to \joption{bibstyle}). \end{itemize} \item [{V.~0.9~(2014-03-13):}]~ \begin{itemize} \item Fix problem with multi-token names. \item Support name prefix in \jcsmacro{omitname}. \item Support pubstate. \end{itemize} \item [{V.~0.8~(2013-08-16):}]~ \begin{itemize} \item Add custom sorting schemes \jmacro{ddnt}, \jmacro{ydmdnt} and \jmacro{dnt} (see sec.~\ref{sec:sorting}). \item Revise the documentation. \end{itemize} \item [{V.~0.7~(2013-07-25):}]~ \begin{itemize} \item Support full dates. \end{itemize} \item [{V.~0.6~(2013-07-21):}]~ \begin{itemize} \item Fix numbering with recent \bibltx\ versions. \end{itemize} \item [{V.~0.5~(2013-05-03):}]~ \begin{itemize} \item Fix numbering if \jfcsmacro{printbibliography} is used multiple times within the same or without any \jfmacro{refsection}. \end{itemize} \item [{V.~0.4~(2012-10-30):}]~ \begin{itemize} \item More robust name parsing (especially for names with non-ASCII characters encoded with \LaTeX{} macros). The code was kindly suggested by Enrico Gregorio.% \footnote{Cf. \url{http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/79555/biblatex-bibliographyoption-with-braces}.% } \item Add \jcsmacro{omitname} command (see sec.~\ref{sec:standard-usage}). \item Support \joption{firstinits} option. \end{itemize} \item [{V.~0.3~(2012-10-23):}]~ \begin{itemize} \item Bug fix: Add missing ``and'' if omitted name was last minus one. \item Bug fix: Fix output with ``et al.'' if omitted name is first and \emph{liststop} is 1. \item Set \joption{maxnames} default to 4. \item Add filter possibility (see sec.~\ref{sec:filtering}). \item Add French localization. \item Some corrections to the manual. \end{itemize} \item [{V.~0.2~(2012-10-21):}] Initial release to CTAN. \end{description} \section{Credits} Thanks go to Enrico Gregorio (egreg on \emph{tex.stackexchange.com}) for helping me with correct name parsing (actually, the code the package uses is completely his), Marko Budi¨i\'{c}, Clea F.
