Quality Assurance

Linting Commands

make lint        # Run all linters (ChkTeX on both CV files)
make lint-tex    # Run ChkTeX linter on .tex files
make lint-bib    # Validate mypublications.bib format/consistency only (does not validate cross-references used in generated CV PDFs)
make lint-lacheck # Run lacheck linter (if installed)
make lint-verbose # Run ChkTeX with verbose output
make check-refs  # Check for undefined references in both CVs

Requirements

• LaTeX distribution (TeX Live, MiKTeX, etc.)

• fontawesome5 package
• ChkTeX (for linting)

CV Structure

Main CV Features

• Complete publication list with DOI links

• Hyperlinked references throughout
• Page numbering with current/total format

Short CV Features

• Condensed 2-page format
• Latest 7 publications (chronologically most recent)

Publication Management

Important: The generated CV PDFs do not compile or pull entries from mypublications.bib. Publication items are hardcoded directly in Vatsal_CV.tex (full CV) and in the short CV file Vatsal_CV-shortCV.tex.

Adding New Publications

Manual update workflow:

1. Main CV: Edit Vatsal_CV.tex and add the new entry at the beginning of the enumerated list (latest first)
2. Short CV: Update the short CV list in Vatsal_CV-shortCV.tex to include the 7 chronologically most recent publications
3. Bibliography: Add the corresponding BibTeX entry to mypublications.bib (for archival/consistency; not used to generate the PDFs)

Selection Criteria for Short CV

• Always select the 7 chronologically most recent publications
• Order them from newest to oldest
• Include year in parentheses at the end
• Not based on impact or importance, only recency

(OA) DOI: \href{[DOI URL]}{[DOI number]}.
