Julian,
I think the two issues you are seeing may be related less to the individual bibliography commands than to the overall structure of the thesis.
For a 400-page document, ConTeXt’s structural context matters quite a lot. In particular, method=local may be something of a false friend here: what we really need to know is how the chapter scope is being established, where the bibliography rendering is placed in relation to the chapter boundaries, and how already-rendered entries are subsequently reused in the final bibliography.
Could you therefore show us the basic architecture you are using for the thesis? In particular:
- are you using a project/product/component structure, or a single main file?
- do you have a separate \environment file?
- how are chapters and sections actually opened and closed (\chapter, \startchapter...\stopchapter, etc.)?
- where exactly does \placebtxrendering[chapterlist][method=local] occur in relation to \stopchapter?
- and where are the btx definitions and renderings set up: in the environment, the product, or the main text?
We do not need the whole thesis, of course. The environment file (or the relevant parts of it), the main project/product skeleton, and the beginning/end of Chapters 1 and 2 should probably be enough.
My suspicion is that we need to separate three things more carefully: the structural scope of the chapter, the method by which references are collected/rendered, and whether entries already rendered in a chapter may be rendered again later in the final bibliography.
Once we see your document structure, it should also be possible to make a small two- or three-chapter test that reproduces exactly what you need:
Chapter 1 → local bibliography
Chapter 2 → local bibliography
…
End of thesis → complete bibliography containing everything.
That may also help explain why the Rogers example works correctly in the small MWE but not inside the full thesis.
Best wishes,
JP
Okay, JP, I solved the second problem (no chapter-level
bibliography for Chapter 2) easily enough: had forgotten to
include repeat=yes
\placebtxrendering
[chapterlist]
[method=local,
repeat=yes]
Now let's see if I can solve the first problem!

Hi Julian,
I tested your suggestion with the current LMTX APA
specification, and it turns out that the grouping logic is
already there.
With:
\cite[authoryear][beiser1987,beiser1990]
ConTeXt produces:
(Beiser, 1987, 1990)
whereas two different authors give:
(Beiser, 1987; Jacobi, 1785)
There is also the authoryears variant,
which produces the narrative form:
Beiser (1987, 1990)
So your suggestion is still very useful: this would
make a good additional example for the Garden page, since the
existing simple example does not show that APA already handles
repeated authors this way.
I attach the small MWE I used for the test.
Best, JP

It just occurs to me, looking at one of the
simple examples inhttps://wiki.contextgarden.net/Creating_a_bibliography_and_citing_sources,
that it might be a good idea to include an example of two
works by the same author, as well as 2 works involving
different authors.
The example provided is
\cite
[authoryear]
[beiser1987,jacobi1785]
and that will produce, in-text, (Beiser, 1987;
Jacobi, 1785).
But let's say Beiser wrote a second work in 1990.
\cite
[authoryear]
[beiser1987,beiser1990]
will produce (Beiser, 1987; Beiser, 1990). It
might look better if we could get (Beiser, 1987, 1990). At
the moment I can't quite see how to get that.
Julian
