How do I include bibliography (.bbl file) in latex?

Question

Hello,

I am trying to write my CV, and I want to include a list of publications. To do that, I want to include a .bbl file directly (which was generated using bibtex). So, in my CV I do

\input{publications.bbl}

This seems to work fine, except for one thing: an asterisk (*) appears on the left to the lists of publications! I don't know where this * comes from and why it appears there. Any idea how I can remove this *?

Thanks.

I'd have to see some code. but first you do

\begin{thebibliography}{}
   \input{publications.bbl}
\end{thebibliography}

Is that what you have? In fact, try this and see if you still get the "error":

\begin{thebibliography}{}
\bibitem{ano05}
    A. Nonymous et al.\ 2005, \aap 123, 456\\[-20pt]
\bibitem{oe04}
    A.N. Other \& S.O.M. Ebody 2004, \pasp 123, 456\\[-20pt]
\end{thebibliography}
