I wish to write a report with 2 reference lists, one with the references quoted in text, and the other one with my own papers.

I would like the first list to look as usual [1],[2],... but I wish the second list to be like [P1],[P2],...

How can I do this easily?

I was thinking in something simpler. One of the lists is generated with 

\begin{enumerate}[label={\bf P\arabic*}]

and then the entries are listed with 

\bibitem{paper1} ...

so that I can recall them later with \cite{paper 1}, etc.

The list appears correctly labelled, i.e. P1, P2 ..., but when I call a reference using \cite I get [1],[2], which shouldn't be.

Is there a way to get [P1], [P2],... just using enumerate and \cite?

    How would you like to distinguish between the two lists? There needs to be a way to tell LaTeX which entry belongs to which bibliography? BTW: Do you mean to use biblatex (your question is tagged biblatex, but does not explicitly mention it - plus, you mention bibitem in the title)? What is your current bibliography set-up? Would you be able to post a MWE? – moewe May 04 '14 at 20:19

    You can give an optional argument to \bibitem, like \bibitem[P1]{somepaper}, does that help? – moewe May 05 '14 at 04:32

Here is an example using biblatex:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@article{article1,
  author = "A Author and B Author",
  title  = "First title"
}
@article{article2,
  author = "C Author and D Author",
  title  = "Second title"
}
\end{filecontents*}
\begin{filecontents*}{mypapers.bib}
@article{paper1,
  author = "M Author",
  title  = "Third title"
}
@article{paper2,
  author = "M Author",
  title  = "Fourth title"
}
\end{filecontents*}

\usepackage[citestyle=numeric,backend=biber,defernumbers]{biblatex}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}

See~\cite{article1, article2}.

\printbibliography


\noindent\leavevmode\hrulefill

\begin{refsection}[mypapers.bib]
Here is a list of my papers. I especially enjoyed writing~\cite{paper2}.

\nocite{*}
\printbibliography[prefixnumbers={P}]
\end{refsection}
\end{document}

The numeric style allows for prefixnumbers to be set to any string. In the above example, a new refsection is started specifically for the bibliography mypapers.bib, allowing for a separate showcase of your papers with the required numbering format + prefix.
