Citation brackets using biblatex












1















I'm using biblatex for references and citations in my thesis.



usepackage[backend=biber, style=alphabetic, citestyle=authoryear]{biblatex}


gives me the author name in the text, but I would like to have brackets around it. How would I do that?

  • parencite gives you round brackets (parentheses). If you want square brackets a tad more work is needed. Do you really combine style=alphabetic, citestyle=authoryear,? If there is no other code to combine these two styles the output will be a bit odd.

With (cite)style=authoryear parencite gives you round brackets (parentheses) by default. It is possible to switch to square brackets as shown in Biblatex, author-year, square brackets. If you use biblatex-ext it is slightly more comfortable to do that with the command DeclareOuterCiteDelims.

usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

usepackage{csquotes}

usepackage[style=ext-authoryear, backend=biber]{biblatex}

DeclareOuterCiteDelims{parencite}{bibopenbracket}{bibclosebracket}

addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

begin{document}
autocite{sigfridsson} -- parencite{sigfridsson}
printbibliography
end{document}
