How to reference in LATEX text without parentheses

Question

I am working on my TCC using Sharelatex and a template from my university. I have already set up the file .bib and I can perform citations using the \cite{}. But in this way it always generates for example:

segundo (Fulano, 2012)

Which command should I use to generate references in this way:

segundo Fulano (2012)

There are cases where using the first format makes more sense, but for the cohesion of the text sometimes the second case seems more appropriate.

Thank you!

Answer 1

You can use the variations of \cite, in your case I believe that \citet{} (textual citation) would solve, something like:

\citet{Erdos65} --> Erdős et al. (1965)

There are other variations, you can take a look at wiki.

EDIT: It is necessary to import the package natbib, using:

\usepackage{natbib}
