You have no citations, so that's what I would expect. Also, having both \placepublications and \completepublications is duplication. Try the attached (slightly patched) source file, if you will.
Yes, with \cite, the references appear not empty. But is this not a bug: you could have a list of publications and not citting anyone in the document (I'm thinking in diccionaries or art-writing books as consulting references) (In LaTeX you could have references and no cite anyone)
That is a feature, otherwise people would not be able to use pre-existing database files that often contain hundreds of publications. But there is an option for your requested behaviour already supplied: you just have to add "criterium=all" to the \setuppublications command.
For the other hand, I read in the wiki that bib module automatically read for \jobname.bib file (this is why I commented it)
Do you remember which wiki page? That is wrong, it reads the .bbl file automatically, but that is bibtex's output.
Not, I don't remember.... sorry.
Best read the official manual then: http://dl.contextgarden.net/modules/t-bib/doc/context/bib/bibmod-doc.pdf Best wishes, Taco
