You told me that before but I forgot :P

Ok, so I moved both the date and the list authors to the definitions part of a let:

(define (publication->shtml publication)
  "Return an SHTML representation of the given publication object.

   PUBLICATION (<publication>)
     A publication object as defined in (apps media types)."
  (let ((date
         (date->string (publication-date publication)
                       (C_ "SRFI-19 date->string format" "~b ~d, ~Y")))
        (authors
         (string-join (publication-authors publication)
                      (C_ "Separator for authors in a list" ", "))))

    `(a
      (@ (class "publication-preview")
         (href ,(publication-url publication)))

      (h3
       (@ (lang ,(publication-language publication))
          (class "publication-title"))
       ,(publication-title publication))

      (p
       (@ (class "publication-info"))
       ,(G_ `("Published " ,date " by " ,authors ""))))))

Does it look right?
