Here's a minimal example: \setupbibtex[database=tmp] \setuppublications[alternative=num] \setuppublicationlist[artauthoretallimit=3, authoretaldisplay=3, editoretaldisplay=3, artauthoretaldisplay=3, % authoretaltext={ et al}, % artauthoretaltext={ et al}, ] \starttext Test \cite[Larkin:1980]. \blank[big] \placepublications[criterium=text] \stoptext (The tmp.bib file is attached.) The bibliography entry is: [1] Jill Larkin, John McDermott and Dorothea P. Simon et al.. Expert and novice performance in solving physics problems. Science, 208(4450):1335--1342, 1980. The doubled full stop can be fixed by commenting in the two lines % authoretaltext={ et al}, % artauthoretaltext={ et al}, Should these commented-in settings be the default for the "num" style (because it'll always put one more full stop between the author list and the title)? Another workaround is never to use et al. But that idea failed when I had to cite the Nobel-Prize-winning gravity-wave paper ("Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger"). It has, I think, 1000 authors! -- -Sanjoy Save Long Wharf Park in Boston Harbor!
