Thank you very much Pont. My fault, I found the problem. I had set the "crossref"-key in my bib-entry, which obviously causes that the "booktitle" is not in the bbl file. Now I also understand the .bst files there. Indeed, with the crossref set I don't really need the booktitle in the reference, but it could be useful to have the booktitle also available, in case of a custom style...

I have an @incollection-entry with "booktitle" set in a bib-file used in a ConTeXt document. Unfortunately there is no \title, generated from "booktitle", in the respective .bbl file. Only \arttitle, generated from the bib-key "title", is present. Guess it's a bug(?)

Hmm, can't reproduce here. Here's what I'm using:

file test.tex:

\setupbibtex[database=test] \starttext \cite[ernst1989anisotropy] \placepublications[criterium=cite] \stoptext

file test.bib:

@incollection{ernst1989anisotropy, title = {Averaging of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility data}, author = {Ernst, R. E. and Pearce, G. W.}, booktitle = {Statistical Applications in the Earth Sciences}, editor = {Agterberg, F. P. and Bonham-Carter, G. F.}, note = {Paper 89-9}, pages = {297--305}, year = {1989}, publisher = {Geological Survey of Canada} }

produces the following test.bbl:

\setuppublicationlist[samplesize={EP89},totalnumber=1]

\startpublication[k=ernst1989anisotropy,t=incollection, a={{Ernst},{Pearce}},y=1989, n=1,s=EP89] \artauthor[]{R.~E.}[R.~E.]{}{Ernst} \artauthor[]{G.~W.}[G.~W.]{}{Pearce} \pubyear{1989} \arttitle{Averaging of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility data} \editor[]{F.~P.}[F.~P.]{}{Agterberg} \editor[]{G.~F.}[G.~F.]{}{Bonham-Carter} \title{Statistical Applications in the Earth Sciences} \pages{297--305} \pages{297--305} \pubname{Geological Survey of Canada} \note{Paper 89-9} \stoppublication

... and the PDF shows both the article and book title. This works with MkIV 2011.02.25 and 2011.09.20.
