How can I remove hyperlinks of citations (of publications) in the pdf generated from my TeX? I notice that when some hyperlinks spill across multiple columns or pages, LaTeX compilation throws errors. I wish to avoid that.

I read this post from tex.stackexchange which speaks of similar things, but it appears slightly different to what I need.

This is the skeleton of my LaTeX document:

The ref.bib that I am using can be found here.

I will appreciate any help.

You can add hypersetup{nolinks=true} to get rid of all hyperlinks in your document.

As far as I can see there are some errors in your bib file, for example in entry

  abstract={We calculate the real- and redshift-space clustering of massive galaxies at z ~ 0.5 using the first semester of data by the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). We study the correlation functions of a sample of 44,000 massive galaxies in the redshift range 0.4 < z < 0.7. We present a halo-occupation distribution modeling of the clustering results and discuss the implications for the manner in which massive galaxies at z ~ 0.5 occupy dark matter halos. The majority of our galaxies are central galaxies living in halos of mass 10 13 h –1 M ☉ , but 10% are satellites living in halos 10 times more massive. These results are broadly in agreement with earlier investigations of massive galaxies at z ~ 0.5. The inferred large-scale bias ( b ##IMG## [http://ej.iop.org/icons/Entities/sime.gif] {sime} 2) and relatively high number density ( ##IMG## [http://ej.iop.org/images/0004-637X/728/2/126/apj378616ieqn1.gif] {$bar{n}=3times 10^{-4},h^3,{rm Mpc}^{-3}$} ) imply that BOSS galaxies are excellent tracers of large-scale structure, suggesting BOSS will enable a wide range of investigations on the distance scale, the growth of large-scale structure, massive galaxy evolution, and other topics.}

}

To get correct syntax for LaTeX you need to change 10% to 10%. But at last I think you can delete all abstracts in your bib file, they are not printed ...

If I compile the following MWE I get only some warnings regarding that for example for bib entry Amendola2017 an resulting empty hperlink is suppressed:

results in the following page without compiling errors, only some warnings!

After uncomenting the hypersetup I get the following result, without warnings:

Please note that packages ae and aecompl are obsolete, do not use them any longer!

I think the hyperref package is creating the links in your document. I could not find
an option to switch this off in their options summary or in their documentation, but from what I have found, the cite package is not compatible with the hyperref package so if you add the cite package to your preamble the links should disappear.

I know that this is a somewhat hacky solution, but it seems like those links cannot be switched off with options in hyperref.
