~[Feature Request] Literature sorting improvement~ Literature in v54.01 DFG template

[gituser789]

Summary
Is there a way to include literature sorting with different labels directly into the template?
e.g. own literature labeled as [E1], [E2], ...
others literature labeld as [1], [2], ...

Describing the Problem
There are mainly two different literature sections

• own work (project specific and non-project specific) (Section 1.2, 1.2.1 and 1.2.2)
• general literature in Section 3: state of research, project goals, working program

The general order is

• state of research and own pre-research
• own literature for pre-research (Section 1.2, 1.2.1 and 1.2.2)
• Describing project goals
• others literature, for state of research, own research and working program

The result is a unsorted mixture of literature in the text. Lets assume [1]-[10] are own literature, and [11-30] others.
In Chapter 1 in the text, there is a mixture of the literature, e.g.

txt [11], ..... [1] .... [12] ... [2,3] .... [13].... [14]....

Possible Solution
is there a way to label own literature with additonal sign directly into the template?

txt [1], ..... [E1] .... [2] ... [E2, E3] .... [3].... [4]....

Neat, I also agree that's a good feature to have to clearly distinguish between own and other literature in the text. I'll also check the PR.

hey @gituser789 -- unfortunately the DFG changed the literature section in the newest v54 template -.-

Now there is only Section 3 left, see the descriptions here

• https://www.dfg.de/download/pdf/foerderung/programme/sachbeihilfe/info_vordrucksaenderungen.pdf
• https://www.dfg.de/formulare/54_01/54_01_en.pdf (Section 3)

This list should only contain those works that you cited in sections 1 and 2. The font used for the publication list should not be less than Arial 9 point. For both new proposals and renewal proposals, you can refer to your own works and those of others; there is no limit to the total number of publications listed. Works which are not in the public domain are not considered publications and cannot be cited. An exception is made for papers that have already been accepted for publication, in which case the manuscript and the editor’s confirmation of acceptance must be enclosed.

A maximum of ten of your own publications that are most relevant to the project can be highlighted in bold or some other way. Even if there are several applicants, the maximum of ten highlighted works may not be exceeded.

For now, to fulfill the request here: #28, I will remove the complicated "own" literature section 1.2 and keep section 3 bc/ this is the new DFG template. Then all literature is listed here. Then, it should be relatively easy to implement a way to make up to 10 selected citations bold. However, another way would be also to use your nice implementation adding a prefix "O" ("Own") or "E" ("Eigene", in the german version). But then we would need smt like the following I guess

This is a nice research text [O1]. And this is based on others work [2,3] but also some own paper [O4] and something else [5].

Project- and subject-related list of publications

[O1] My own first paper. Nature. 2022
[2] Some other paper. Science. 1980
[3] Yet some other paper. NAR. 2001
[O4] Another own paper. Science. 2021
[5] Some other paper. Cell. 1999

What do you think? I will merge a PR w/ the updates for the DFG template v54.01 in the next minutes so this code base can be used as an basis.
