Guidance for printing your publications for the Standard Academic CV
In July 2011 the University rolled out access to City Research Online (CRO), the new institutional
repository at http://publications.city.ac.uk/, a system which stores publications data and also
searches online databases to find items likely to be written by users. Members of academic and
research staff have been invited to log into the system, approve or decline records found
automatically and enter any items not found by the system in order to develop a complete record of
their research publications.
CRO can help support completion of the Standard Academic CV by quickly and easily providing a list
of your publications. It does this by producing a Word output of your publications which you can
then add further information (see below). This can then be attached to your CV.
Please note that the report produced will only include publications which have been approved
within the system and not any which are pending approval. Publications which have been added
manually are automatically treated as approved.
Producing a Word output of publications
Log in to http://publications.city.ac.uk using your City IT username and password. You should
already have approved the publications found by the system for you and entered others manually. If
not you will need to add the items using the relevant link e.g. “Add new chapter”.
To sort your items in reverse chronological order click on the link on the “Total” row at the bottom
of the publications section:
Click on “Sort all publications by reporting date (newest to oldest)”:
Click on “home” at the top left of the screen.
From here you can now click on the small Word icon on the bottom row of the Publications section
to output all your publications sorted in reverse chronological order, or you can output the
publication types (journal articles, book chapters, conference papers etc.) one at a time by clicking
the Word icon on the relevant line. The Standard Academic CV requires the items to be grouped by
type so this option is likely to be more useful.
The output will look like this:
You can simply attach this to your Word CV and add any section headings as required (Book/
monograph, book chapter, journal article refereed, journal article non-refereed, Conference paper
refereed, Conference paper non refereed, other (e.g. internet, newspaper, performance/
composition)).
Additional required information
Please remember that you will need to add and edit your listing to include the following information:
 Whether the publications you list have been refereed or not. Note that refereed journal
articles and conference papers should be listed under separate headings from their nonrefereed counterparts.
 Citations, where applicable and where you consider this to be of significance
 Whether you were the main author (or joint main author), where applicable, with a Y or =
next to the reference, if this is not indicated by the order of the authors
 An asterisk * next to any especially significant publications
