How to reformat references by specific authors

Post by EnBeh »

Hi,
for a grant proposal, I need to modify the list of references such that the papers of a specific author (my own publications) are set in bold face. Assuming that my name is John Smith, the result should look like this:

Bibliography:
Rensink, R. A. (2002). Change detection. Annu Rev Psychol, 53:245–277.
Smith, J. (1990). A new theory of something else. Science, 23:123-456.
Wolfe, J. M. and Bennett, S. C. (1997). Preattentive object files: shapeless bundles of basic features. Vision Res, 37(1):25–43.

I know that I can edit the .bbl by hand and use \textbf on my bibitems. This produces the desired result. However, I have to repeat this step after each time I run bibtex. Is there a way to use formatting commands in the .bib file?

Thanks!
