APA style

[Miriam Aguilar]

Olá João L.,

My question is the following:

I have uncommented all the options for 'apa' like citations in documentclass:

backend=biber,    

natbib=true,      

style=apa,        

maxcitenames=2

But I don´t get apa style citations.  When using the command \cite{Marisa20} the outcome always is: Marisa 2020, instead of year within parenthesis: Marisa (2020)

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help,

[Joao Lourenco]

Didi you try "citep" instead of "cite"?

Thanks for your answer.

Well, 'citep'  just places everything within the parenthesis i.e. (Marisa, 2020) 

I think 'cite' should deliver this in APA style: Marisa (2020)

I believe you have to use "\textcite{…}"
