Import your publications into a CV automatically
Sign in with ORCID and SigmaCV imports your publications from the open record — no copy-pasting — formats them consistently, and builds them into a CV ready to curate and export.
Re-typing your publication list into a CV is slow and error-prone. SigmaCV imports your publications automatically from the open research record — sign in with ORCID and your works are pulled in, formatted, and assembled into a CV.
Everything is matched to you by identifier (ORCID / OpenAlex ID), not by name, so you don't inherit a namesake's papers, and every citation is formatted through one CSL style for consistency across every export.
- Publications imported automatically from ORCID and OpenAlex — matched by identifier, never by name.
- Every citation formatted through one CSL style; export to PDF, DOCX, LaTeX, Markdown or BibTeX.
- Free for individuals and open source; add anything missing by DOI.
How to import publications into your CV
- Sign in with your ORCID iD. SigmaCV reads your public ORCID record and resolves your OpenAlex profile.
- Publications import automatically. Your works are pulled from OpenAlex and ORCID and turned into formatted CV entries — no copy-paste.
- Add anything missing by DOI. If a paper isn't found, add it by its DOI and it is formatted to match.
- Curate and export. Choose which works appear and in what order, then export to PDF, DOCX, LaTeX, Markdown or BibTeX.
Why import from the open record
Importing by identifier from open sources is both faster and more accurate than typing or name-based search: it avoids the misattributions that plague common and non-Latin-script names, and it keeps your list current as the open record updates.
SigmaCV is free for individuals and open source, formats every reference through one CSL engine, and lets you export the same curated list to PDF, DOCX, LaTeX, Markdown, BibTeX and CSL-JSON.
Where does SigmaCV import publications from?
From the open scholarly record — primarily OpenAlex and your ORCID profile, with gap-fill from Crossref — matched to you by identifier. You can also add any work by its DOI.
Is it free?
Yes. SigmaCV is free for individuals and open source under the Apache-2.0 licence, and reads only public research metadata.
Can I import from Google Scholar?
No — Google Scholar has no public API. SigmaCV imports from the open alternatives, ORCID and OpenAlex, and you can add anything missing by DOI.
Does it import by name?
No — by author identifier (ORCID / OpenAlex ID), which avoids the false matches common with shared or transliterated names.
Can I export the imported list as BibTeX?
Yes — alongside PDF, DOCX, LaTeX and Markdown, SigmaCV exports your curated publications as BibTeX and CSL-JSON.
