Dear Hans & Alan,

I would like to manually print the selected list of publications, like this:

\usebtxdataset[items.bib] \usebtxdefinitions[aps] \starttext \startitemize \item \cite[entry][bib1] \item some random text \item \cite[entry][bib5] \stopitemize \stoptext

The problem is that this doesn't print anything unless I add \placelistofpublications somewhere.

While I do understand (to some extent at least) the rationale for not printing the number of bib item when \placelistofpublications is missing, I don't see any reason why I should be unable to print the complete publication that doesn't even require printing out any number.

Any hints about how to do a workaround?

Hi Mojca, Despite being neither Hans nor Alan I could perhaps offer you the possibility of a simple workaround, I think you could do what you need in the same way as when you put bibliographic references in a footnote. So in your case it would be: \startitemize \item \dcite{citekey1} item some random text \item \dcite{citekey2} \stopitemize In any case this works for me but my bibliographic setup may be different from yours. I hope it helps, Best regards, Robert Blackstone
