Sorry about that! In the following example, the number of authors is cut
after three but there is no *et al* added.
Thanks,
F.

\definebtxdataset[example]
\usebtxdataset[example][test.bib]
\definebtxrendering[example][dataset=example,method=local,alternative=apa]
\setupbtxlistvariant[etallimit=3,etaldisplay=3,etaltext={\it et al}]

\starttext
a\cite[example::onnela]
\placebtxrendering[example]
\stoptext

@Article{onnela,
  author = {J. P. Onnela and D. J. Fenn and S. Reid and M. A. Porter
     and P. J. Mucha and M. D. Fricker and N. S. Jones},
  title = {Taxonomies of networks from community structure},
  journal = {Phys. Rev. E},
  volume = {86},
  number = {3},
  pages = {036104},
  year = {2012},
  entrydate = {2014/07/09},
}
