Hi All, some item in the publication list placed at the end of my document looks "good" and some not. Not means there is only "First author et. al." (with initials) and good means there are all author from all \artauthor fields. I have no clue why. In my source file test.tex I have written: \usemodule[bib] \setuppublications[database=test, alternative=aps, numbering=yes,refcommand=serial] I give you the full output but if you need more information, let me know. Thank you... Bob The test.bbl file looks like these two items for all 48: \setuppublicationlist[samplesize={ZHF{\etalchar{+}}98b},totalnumber=48] \startpublication[k=bock,t=article, a={Schreiber et~al.},y=2002, n=1,s=SBSF02] \artauthor[]{A.}[A.]{}{Schreiber} \artauthor[]{H.}[H.]{}{Bock} \artauthor[]{M.}[M.]{}{Schoen} \artauthor[]{G.~H.}[G.~H.]{}{Findenegg} \pubyear{2002} \arttitle{title} \journal{Molecular Physics} \volume{100} \issue{13} \pages{2097--2107} \stoppublication \startpublication[k=streitz,t=article, a={Steitz et~al.},y=2003, n=2,s=SGH{\etalchar{+}}03] \artauthor[]{R.}[R.]{}{Steitz} \artauthor[]{Th.}[T.]{}{Gutberlet} \artauthor[]{Th.}[T.]{}{Hauss} \artauthor[]{B.}[B.]{}{Kloesgen} \artauthor[]{R.}[R.]{}{Krastev} \artauthor[]{S.}[S.]{}{Schemmel} \artauthor[]{A.~C.}[A.~C.]{}{Simonsen} \artauthor[]{G.~H.}[G.~H.]{}{Findenegg} \pubyear{2003} \arttitle{title} \journal{Langmuir} \volume{19} \issue{6} \pages{2409--2418} \stoppublication The test.bib file looks like these two items for all 48: @Article{bock, author = {A.
