My moderncv-created resumé compiles without any sort of error: the list of publications regularly appears in its own section, no problems on that side.

However, even though I have inserted the urls of my journal papers in my .bib file, publication entries in the resulting pdf document are typed in plain text, devoid of any link.

Links work fine in all other sections of my CV.

Bibtex handles my bibliography file.

A MWE:

\PassOptionsToPackage{dvipsnames}{xcolor}  
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}

\moderncvstyle{banking}
\moderncvcolor{black}


\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}

\usepackage[scale=0.8]{geometry}
\usepackage[final]{pdfpages}
\usepackage{xpatch}
\usepackage{url}
\setlength{\footskip}{33pt}


\name{I am}{Lingo}
\address{Job title}  % I have put my job title in the address section
\extrainfo{address}  % and my address as extrainfo 
\phone[mobile]{+1(234)567890}

\email{lingo@lingo.org}


\AtBeginDocument{\hypersetup{
    pdftitle={CV}, 
    pdfauthor={Lingo}, 
    colorlinks=true,
    linkcolor=gray,
    urlcolor=gray
}}


\begin{document}
\makecvtitle


\section{Education}
\cventry{year--year}{Degree}{Institution}{City}{\textit{Grade}}{Description}
\cventry{year--year}{Degree}{Institution}{City}{\textit{Grade}}{Description}


\section{Experience}
\cventry{year--year}{Job title}{Employer}{City}{}{Description line 1}
\cventry{year--year}{Job title}{Employer}{City}{}{Description line 1}


% other sections


\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{plainyr}
\bibliography{publications}


\end{document}

and my publications.bib file has entries such as

@article{Lingo2016,
    title = {A generic {Title}},
    journal = {Yellow Pages},
    url = {\url{https://www.google.com}},
    year = {2016},
    volume = {3},
    pages = {251-266},
    author = {\textbf{Lingo, I A.} and Doe, J.}
}

    Looking at https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/35977/how-to-add-a-url-to-a-latex-bibtex-file I would think it may be a problem with the bibliographystyle. Have you given some others a try? – Matthias Arras Oct 05 '20 at 23:25
  • Hi @MatthiasArras it doesn't work with the plain bibliography style either. – Giogre Oct 05 '20 at 23:31
  • So you do get the url entry, it's just not a hyperlink? – Matthias Arras Oct 05 '20 at 23:45
  • I did not get the url entry as well. But going through the link you provided I did as suggested in one of the answers, i.e. to type note={\url{http://...}} instead of url={\url{http://...}} as I have done above and it works!! Now each publication shows the url in hypertext. – Giogre Oct 05 '20 at 23:56
  • @MatthiasArras you could expand your comment into an answer and I'd accept it. Also, is there a way to hide the url, which is something like https://doi.org/10.1016, and instead directly hyperlink the title of the article? – Giogre Oct 06 '20 at 00:01

    I guess, it would make sense to open a new question for that - assuming no answer for it exists already on the platform. Since the provided link contains at least a workaround, I don't think me repeating it adds anything. I still think this can be solved more elegantly, without the need to rewrite all your urls as notes. But in the meantime, good luck with your job application. – Matthias Arras Oct 06 '20 at 00:10
  • @MatthiasArras thank you for the good wishes, I'll need all the luck I can get, given the current circumstances. Someone has already asked whether a publication title could be hyperlinked to the url entry in a bib file, however he is looking for a solution using biblatex https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/23832/biblatex-make-title-hyperlink-to-doi-url-if-available while I am using bibtex. The solution proposed there is a bit complex because it presupposes all urls being of doi-type, but I have also got links to congress sites. – Giogre Oct 06 '20 at 01:10
