How to edit the citation inside the text

I want to edit the citation inside the text forever, because when I do update citations my edit always gone .

For example, I want to write the citation without Brackets.

thank you in advance for any reply

i am using X4

i didn’t mean that i mean that for example i have (Haat, Mahenthiran, Rahman, & Hamid, 2006; Khas, 2002)

i want only to the bracket to be removed such as

Haat, Mahenthiran, Rahman, & Hamid, 2006; Khas, 2002

very useful feedback

thank you very much

Dear Leanne

what do u mean to apply hidden text to the residual citation because whenever I hide the author and year it only hide one author where I have several 

for examples have

(Gunasekarage et al., 2007; Sun and Tong, 2003; Xu and Wang, 1999; Zhang et al., 2001; McConnell and Servaes, 1990; 1995; Morck et al.,1988)

when I highlight all and click on hide author and year it only hide one of them and the result will be

(Gunasekarage et al., 2007; Sun and Tong, 2003; Xu and Wang, 1999; Zhang et al., 2001; McConnell and Servaes, 1990; 1995)

thank u

hahaha sorry for all these questions

when i want to say for example that several studyies used same measurment such as … so after that citation should be with no parentheses… right?

thank you

anyway, i colored the parentheses using white color so it wouldn’t appear and it works even after update . thanks
