But as I collect my internet citations with zotero I always get a urldate for all internet entries. I think that giving the urldate is better than insert a publication year as nobody knows how long a website was present and when it was published for the first time.

Is it possible to insert something like "last accessed on the internet on YYYY-MM-DD" in that field automatically if no publication year is provided but a urldate?

urldate is a non-standard field that Zotero (and others) have added. It is not handled by the revtex bibliography style that can be used as the reference for the "APS" style. The APA style guide suggests putting the author followed by the access date, then the title, adding "Retrieved from" followed by the URL. Internet citations, unless they correspond to a "preprint" on an archived list server are questionable references anyways, which is why the APS suggests using (unpublished). -- Alan

I am not the OP, but I'm very much interested in how referencing works with ConTeXt so let me add to this.

You can write your own style, or your own modified style.

Is the publications manual still up to date? Is there more recent information available? How would I start writing my own style? Concerning your two requirements for new styles: (2) there is a clear, defined standard that can be followed. This is actually the easier question: A few standard styles immediately come to mind: MLA, Chicago 16th and 17 edition in its various variants (author-date, note-bibliography, fullnote-bibliography, both note styles with and without ibid.), Modern Humanities Research Association... I guess having a model for all major variants (authordate, authoryear, numeric, alphanumeric) would be a good starting point. Also, we can implement more styles if (1) there is a need This is more tricky. I do very much like what ConTeXt has to offer for typesetting finished works, but I currently would not use it for writing a larger work in the Humanities. For smaller pieces I would probably write in Markdown, use pandoc to produce a context source file, and pandoc will me automatic citations via pandoc-citeproc (yet with a few glitches). For a longer work I currently don't have an alternative to biblatex. And I guess that is the point: Those with rather complex requirements for citations will either do them manually or use biblatex for this so it's not so easy to say if "there is a need". Having said that, I would really like being able to use ConTeXt here as well. So having a author-title style for the footnotes and the bibliographies would be more than welcome.

Well, currently not. But citeproc-rs, a CSL implementation written in Rust is in the making. I don't know if there will be any progress in the near future, but it should be possible to use this via lua bindings. Am Do., 16. Mai 2019 um 16:12 Uhr schrieb nyssus < rocksolidbrassballs@gmail.com>:

Honestly, some way to use CSL files to style bibliography would be ideal here, but that doesn't seem to currently exist

Very interesting project. I have a workflow where I produce ConTeXt sources from markdown via pandoc. But using XML could be even better. Nevertheless, this still leaves us with the problem that CSL support with pandoc-citeproc has a few glitches (wrong disambiguation; ibids can be ambiguous, some features aren't implemented at all).

Have a look at Pablos way to go from pandoc via xhtml to context:

https://github.com/ousia/from-pandoc-to-context

Or a slightly improved fork: https://github.com/aksdb/pandoc-xhtml

I use this to write books with Markdown and produce the outputs with pandoc to epub and pdf.

With Pandoc you can use CSL files and include the bibliography via XML into ConTeXt.

The main point is to have some document we can turn to as a reference so as to avoid (endless) debates about the "proper" way to do things. It has always been our intention to support more styles, but not endless variants as almost no publishers, universities and other institutions correctly follow any established specifications.

A call for specific use cases. -- Alan
