This analysis is not quite correct.

Thank you for your input.

I use the "bibliography" subsystem as a general database tool, defining glossaries, tables of crystallographic symmetries, catalogs of diagrams, etc., so it is quite a bit more flexible than just to create bibliographies.

Does it mean there is no need for tools like JabRef, Zotero etc. if I'm staying within the scope of ConTeXt?

JabRef, Zotero are tools useful to manage bibliographic datasets. Their use is not necessary, yet may be quite helpful, and even can be customized at will, if desired. Rik has pointed out a few bugs in the APA (author-year) formatting that will be fixed as they get clearly reported. Even though I started out with the APS (numbered) specification, I have been using APA more thoroughly. Note that APS is purposely very compact (and limited). Thomas seems to use the author-num scheme principally, and this appears to be about the extent to which the ConTeXt system has been tested. Alan
