In-text brackets

Hi,

I’m using for my thesis and have the following problem: I want to cite publications in text and put only the year in brackets. However, every time I am updating my reference list the bracket in front of the year is deleted (since it is in the citation itself).

Example: In his influential article, Cox (1972) outlines… - is what I want

In his influential article, Cox 1972) outlines… - is what I get

Does anyone know how I can keep the brackets? Is there any other possibility beside creating two different styles for citing a) the author as a person in a sentence and b) the publication as a whole?

Thanks for any hints!

Thanks a lot! I was still using X4, which doesn’t have the option that you described. With X5 everything is working perfectly fine.

Thanks!
