Dear gang,
ConTeXt currently follows archaic BibTeX conventions in labeling doctoral
dissertations for bibliography. So we have the tag 'phdthesis' as in
\startpublication[k=hamid98,
t=phdthesis,
a=Hamid,
y=1998,
s=ISH98]
\author[]{Idris Samawi}[I.]{}{Hamid}
\title{The Metaphysics and Cosmology of \TeX}
\pubname{\TeX\ State University}
\pubyear{1998}
\stoppublication
The tag gets mapped to 'PhD thesis' in the output. But current English
style is to use 'thesis' for Masters degrees and 'dissertation' for
doctoral degrees [See the Merriam-Webster Style Manual or even google 'phd
thesis or dissertation' for lots of confirmation of this]. As development
of a new mkiv module continues, I would suggest changing this to the
standard usage. In the meantime: How can I change the label in the current
bibliography system? I tried the following (also attached):
========
\starttext
\setuppublications[alternative=apa]
\setupbtxlabeltext
[en]
[apa:phdthesis={Doctoral dissertation}]
\startsetups btx:apa:phdthesis
\setvariables[btx:temp][label=Doctoral Dissertation]
\btxsetup{btx:apa:common:thesis}
\stopsetups
\startpublication[k=hamid98,
t=phdthesis,
a=Hamid,
y=1998,
s=ISH98]
\author[]{Idris Samawi}[I.]{}{Hamid}
\title{The Metaphysics and Cosmology of \TeX}
\pubname{\TeX\ State University}
\pubyear{1998}
\stoppublication
\placepublications [criterium=all] % inherits from \setuppublications
% \completepublications[criterium=cite] % only works with criterium=all
\stoptext
========
But the output is still 'PhD thesis'. How do I get the changes in the btx
labeltext passed on to ConTeXt so I can get the correct output? Thanks and
Best wishes
Idris
