Hi Amine,
The bibliography subsystem is rather complex, and Alan, who has worked with
Hans on support for APS and APA, wants to do things the right way, which means
he wants to code for all corner cases. From my own experience: it is difficult
to just copy and modify the existing publ-imp-XXX files; they define a number
of clever macros that allow code reuse and consistency, but are not the most
straightforward way for a non-programmer (like myself) to proceed. I have found
it easier to start from scratch by writing my own publ-imp-custom.{mkiv,lua}
files and then add whatever I need, one entry type at a time. That also allows
you to understand the ways in which the system works. But of course, it’s less
convenient than just changing APA to MLA, as you can in biblatex. ConTeXt has a
much smaller user base, so we take somewhat longer. Maybe I should add a wiki
article on a basic way to start one’s own custom definitions...
Best
Thomas
