I want to print my own publications and show that I am an author by highlighting my own name. As some of the publications have over 100 authors I do not want to print all of them (would be ok with some publications with 5-10 authors, but a whole page of names looks ugly). In general I found a solution but there is currently a space that I would love to get rid off if I skip some names (currently: "First Author , ..., I. Me, et al."; should be: "First Author, ..., I. Me, et al.").

There are some additional things that could be improved but they are not that important for me (1. Is my name currently highlighted also in the normal bibliography and not only in my fullciteNEW command; 2. currently several fields like volume, doi etc. are included in a static fashion; 3. if the number of authors is below 10 it would be fine if all of them are presented.)

Here is current code to represent the status:

\begin{filecontents}{test.bib}
    @article{Source1,
        author = {Me, Its and Author, another and Else, Someone},
        journal = {The journal},
        title = {{A fancy title}},
        issn = {12345},
        year = {2019},
        pages = {1-2},
        volume = {49},
        number = {2},
        doi = {TheDoiIsHelpful},
}
@article{Source2,
    author = {Author, First and Me, I. and Author, Third and Author, Fourth},
    title = {{This is my sedondauthorship}},
    journal = {The real journal},
    issn = {12345},
    year = {2022},
    pages = {1-2},
    volume = {49},
    number = {2},
    doi = {TheDoiIsHelpful}
}

    @article{Source3,
        author = {Author, First and Author, Second and Me, I. and Author, Third and Author, Fourth},
        title = {{This is another paper}},
        journal = {The real journal},
        issn = {12345},
        year = {2022},
        pages = {1-2},
        volume = {49},
        number = {2},
        doi = {TheDoiIsHelpful}
    }

        @article{Source5,
            author = {Author, First and Author, Second and Author, Third and Author, Fourth and Me, I.},
            title = {{This is my last authorship}},
            journal = {The real journal},
            issn = {12345},
            year = {2022},
            pages = {1-2},
            volume = {49},
            doi = {TheDoiIsHelpful},
        }

(sorry that the minimal example is not optimal it is my first try)

  • For highlighting an author (or indeed anything), see this which has a much more elegant way of doing things without messing about with patching macros: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/73136/make-specific-author-bold-using-biblatex/304968#304968 – PLK Sep 29 '22 at 13:20
  • This is really a great approach. But the main reason, why I started with my approach, was that I want to see my name also if I am author 50 of 200 without printing 200 names (or the first 50 authors). So if there is a way to summarise some parts of the authorlist by something like '...' I would love to change. On the other hand side this approach anyway requests me to manually edit my bib file, therefore I could also edit this in the bib file.

    Thanks a lot for your hint!
