Generate a LaTeX academic CV from your research record
Sign in with ORCID and SigmaCV builds your CV from the open research record and exports ready-to-compile LaTeX — not a blank template you fill in by hand.
If you write your CV in LaTeX, SigmaCV saves you the most tedious step: it generates a ready-to-compile LaTeX academic CV from your open research record, complete with a matching .bib bibliography, instead of a blank template you fill in by hand.
Sign in with ORCID, curate your record, and export a .tex CV plus a .bib file you compile in your own setup. Citations are produced through CSL, so your LaTeX CV reads identically to the PDF, DOCX and Markdown versions of the same canonical CV.
- Export a LaTeX CV with an accompanying .bib bibliography, generated from your ORCID and OpenAlex publications.
- Citations are formatted through CSL, so PDF, DOCX, LaTeX and Markdown all read identically.
- Free for individuals and open source; you curate the content, then compile the .tex yourself.
We only read your public ORCID record — never post, never write anything back.
How to generate a LaTeX academic CV
- Sign in with ORCID. SigmaCV builds your CV from your public ORCID and OpenAlex record — no manual BibTeX wrangling.
- Curate your CV. Choose which publications and sections appear and put them in order, all from one canonical record.
- Export .tex and .bib. Download a LaTeX CV with an accompanying .bib bibliography generated from your curated publications.
- Compile in your own setup. Compile the .tex in Overleaf or your local TeX distribution; tweak the LaTeX freely from there.
Why generate LaTeX with SigmaCV
Hand-maintaining a .bib file and keeping it in sync with your CV is error-prone. SigmaCV assembles both the document and the bibliography from your real record, so entries are complete and citations are consistent from the start.
It is free for individuals and open source, and there is no lock-in: you get plain .tex and .bib files to compile and edit however you like, and the same CV exports to other formats whenever you need them.
What LaTeX files does SigmaCV export?
SigmaCV exports a .tex CV plus a .bib bibliography assembled from your curated publications, so you can compile the document in your own LaTeX setup.
Do I need to format the LaTeX myself?
No. SigmaCV fills the LaTeX CV in from your ORCID and OpenAlex record and formats the citations for you — unlike a blank LaTeX template, where you type every entry.
What LaTeX files does SigmaCV export?
A .tex CV plus a .bib bibliography assembled from your curated publications, so you can compile the document in your own LaTeX setup.
Can I use it with Overleaf?
Yes. The exported .tex and .bib are standard files you can upload to Overleaf or compile locally with any TeX distribution.
Is this a moderncv or Overleaf template replacement?
It complements them: rather than typing entries into a blank moderncv-style template, SigmaCV fills the content in from your record and gives you .tex and .bib to take further.
