Scientific Template

[jankapunkt]

one of the ideas from the ideas thread #18 which is mainly described here: https://github.com/jankapunkt/latexcv/issues/18#issuecomment-525730139

This is how I imagine.

    Header: name in larger font size, current position, title (e.g. PhD student, associate professor, etc.), address, institutional e-mail, phone number, optionally personal webpage, optionally a photo on the right as you did in the Modern template.
    Education: the structuring in the Classic or the Modern templates are perfect I think.
    Academic employment (optional; not useful for a freshly graduated person): title of the position, institution, time interval
    Publications (optional, as some institutions require the publications separated from the CV): your own name in bold face to indicate whether you are the first author. I would further structure it as
        books
        journal papers
        conference papers
        book chapters
        conference talks
        publications under review
    Awards (optional)
    Teaching (optional)
    Affiliations (optional): mainly relevant for experienced scientists and professors who are often members of organizations, committees, or are journal editors
    Research interest (optional)
    Technical skills: here I would add the option to insert the level of knowledge as it can be seen in the Sidebar theme (although I would change the stars to empty/filled circles as academia is more modest). Language skills can come here.

Additional comments:

    the default paper size could be A4 (tailored to me, as I am in Europe), with the possible extension to other sizes (not important for me)
    this template would specifically be crafted for use in academia
    as you could see, I wrote the word optional for some places. It could be implemented as environments, to keep the modular structure, suitable for PhD students to full professors. Similarly, one may not want to use all four kinds of publications listed in item 4, so macros could help here as well.
    the growing number of publications makes it impractical to embed them directly. I would use the natbib, or better, the biblatex package to fetch the publications from (an) external bib file(s). Biblatex can include multiple bibliographies within a single document, so that would fit well to the different categories (journal papers, copnference papers, ...).
    as opposed to business CVs, academic CVs can be longer due to the accumulating papers, memberships, etc.
    just as you did for the education section, the publication should also be ordered latest to oldest. I can help you in setting it in the bibliography, if you want.

is it necessary to be a single page cv?

I have a been working on a scientific cv

I don't think Scientific CVs can be done on a single page as the projects and publications can go on for a long list

Hi @miswaryousuf no worries the sidebar-left template is also multipage. I rather have the requirement, that it's all one self-contained majn.tex file and that you comment the content well, the formatting is well and it's all understandable for beginners.

Feel free to open a draft pull request in case you are yet unsure and expect many changes. I can support you with reviews. However, please do not change anything beyond your template as this gets too much to review.

Thanks a lot for contributing!
