如何删除我的简历出版列表中年份之前的丑陋空格？

Question

出版物部分中的每个条目看起来都很好，直到标题和年份之间的分隔线出现，然后我发现出版物标题和年份之间有三个难看的空格分隔线；例如，

J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, (1951).

括号中的年份被做成了超链接，删除这个链接也没什么用。（我也非常不喜欢标题后面的逗号和年份括起来的括号，但如果更改它们带来的麻烦大于其价值，那我也就接受它们了。）

请注意，代码在 Overleaf 上，而不是我的本地机器上。

这是.bib：

@CONTROL{REVTEX42Control}
@CONTROL{apsrev42Control,author="00",pages="1",title="0",year="0"}

@article{Hohertz_Factors_2020,
author = {Hohertz, Matt},
title = {Bounds for the zeros of {C}ollatz polynomials, with necessary and sufficient strictness conditions},
url = {https://arxiv.org/pdf/2012.08006.pdf},
year = {2020}
}

和.tex：
