Bibtex with no references title

Question

I am working on writing a scientific poster in LaTeX, and I want to include a few references for my work. Because this is a poster, I have my own customized headers for different sections, and don't want my related works to have a separate title. Essentially I have something like this:

\begin{textblock}{5.5}(19.5,11)
\CHead{Related Work} %a newcommand header I wrote
\bibliographystyle{acm}
\bibliography{mybib}
\end{textblock}

And it comes out with a header called "Related Work" like I want, but it also under that says "References", which I don't want.

I found a few websites that said that I could override this with something like

\renewcommand\refname{}

But all this does is take the word "References" out, but the space allotted for the title is still there. Is there a way to completely eliminate the title and any space it may take up?

Answer 1

\renewcommand{\refname}{} just redefines the \refname (that is, the title of your related work section) to be blank. I believe you want to redefine the title of your related work section to be \CHead{Related Work}.

So, I would try writing \renewcommand{\refname}{\CHead{Related Work}} instead of manually inserting \CHead{Related Work} before the bibliography.

Answer 2

What wound up working best for me was to use \renewcommand\refname{} and then use negative vspace like so:

\begin{textblock}{5.5}(19.5,11)
\CHead{Related Work} %a newcommand header I wrote
\vspace*{-4cm}
\bibliographystyle{acm}
\bibliography{mybib}
\end{textblock}
