I find it a marvellous tool (there is some functionality which could be added, but the current functionality is more than satisfying for me). You can write the article's Pubmed ID and it will import all the data automatically (I guess that pybliographer does that as well, but in any case - it is one of the features I like most). > 1) Titles from PubMed always end with a '.'.

Would it be possible to include a check > for that into the module? Are you sure that the dot comes from PubMed? In that I case I would call it pybliographic's problem, not Taco's problem. Removing the trailing dot (if it's really explicitely present in the title) is doable in TeX, but a bit complex and imagine that you had a title where you wanted to keep the trailing dot intentionally. Besides that you would surely want to remove that dot on other places as well, not only under "References". Why don't you simply open the resulting bib file in a good text editor and delete the trailing dots in titles with a single regular expression? If you don't know how to do that in less than 10 seconds, write me off-list (and include the .bib file). I never had any problems with dots in PubMed's articles. However there's often an additional dot if some data is missing. That can be regulated with style. Sometimes the default behaviour is to write down a dot even if some bib field is empty. You can fix that with adjusting \setuppublicationlayout. See bibl-apa.tex or the documentation. (That's what Taco already suggested.) Mojca PS: I noticed that some updates are being made about the modules, but the following sites http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography http://wiki.contextgarden.net/User:Taco/Bib http://modules.contextgarden.net/bib (wrong link to the documentation) [content of] http://tex.aanhet.net/bib/ seem a bit unsyncronized (and not enough "interlinked"). "dl" was the only place where I managed to find the documentation. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography should perhaps include all the relevant links including documentation. Should the latest module version point on "aanhet" or on the "modules" section?
