\bibliography{\jobname} is not support

[bersbersbers]

If you use some project.tex alongside project.bib, a local installation will support \bibliography{\jobname} just fine. ShareLaTeX doesn't, claiming many undefined references as if project.bib did not exist or was empty.

This is because in sharelatex \jobname always evaluates to output. You can rename project.bib to output.bib and it should work.
A more sophisticated solution would be to use .latexmkrc to make a symlink output.bib->project.bib. But this depends on the installation of sharelatex, the global configuration of latexmk, if you want to have this globally (workstation) or locally (user) or projectwise (project folder). Since the latexmkrc file is a Perl script invoked by latexmk (the scheduler for a recompile) at every recompile, one can do everything there.....
