To answer my own question, it must be \usebtxdefinitions[aps] \setupbtxlist [aps] [alternative=b, after=, before=] \definebtx [aps:cite:num] [left={(}, right={)}] \definebtx [aps:list:numbering] [aps:list] [left={(}, right={)}] Am 03.01.2018 um 09:38 schrieb Dr. Thomas Möbius:

Why is [left=(, right=)] ignored in \setupbtx when using the aps btx rendering specification?

This works:

\usebtxdataset     [default]     [../bibliography/bibliography]

\setupbtx     [default:cite:num]     [left=(,right=)]

\setupbtx     [default:list]     [left=(,right=),authorconversion=invertedshort]

\starttext

\cite[Carp:2012a, Carp:2012b] \cite[Weishaupt:2014] \cite[Knecht:2003] \cite[Jansen:2006b]

\subject{References}

\placelistofpublications

\stoptext

So, why does this not work?

\usebtxdataset     [default]     [../bibliography/bibliography]

\usebtxdefinitions[aps]

\setupbtx     [aps:cite:num]     [left=(,right=)]

\setupbtx     [aps:list]     [left=(,right=),authorconversion=invertedshort]

\starttext

\cite[Carp:2012a, Carp:2012b] \cite[Weishaupt:2014] \cite[Knecht:2003] \cite[Jansen:2006b]

\subject{References}

\placelistofpublications
