Different ways to cite an author in Beamer Latex Solved/Closed

Question

Hi all,

I am Rodrigue. I'm preparing a Beamer presentation. Withing some slides, I want to cite authors in the apalike style. I want to display both "author (year) and (author, year)". 

For example I will sometime need to write Smith (1776) and sometime (Smith, 1776). 

I observed that just \cite{} works. In Latex document, I simply use \cite{} to have Smith (1776) and \citep{} for (Smith, 1776) but in Beamer, \citep{} doesn't work. 

Moreover, the output I get using \cite{} is that of (Smith, 1776) instead. But here is not my problem.

I've been searching unsuccessfully the solution on the internet. 

So, how can I implement the citation command to have Smith (1776)? This is the main issue. 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

The \citep{} command is used to display the author's name as well as the year in parentheses. To display only the year in parentheses for your citation, use the \citet{} command instead.

Hi HelpiOS

Thank you for your reply. As I mentioned, \citep{} doesn't work. My editor Texstudio doesn't recognise that keyword. I also tried \citet{} that you propose but this is not recognised too. 

Is it specific to Beamer ? Because even using Texmaker nothing changes.

Hi HelpiOS,

I'm really grateful for your help. It's fine now!! I just needed to add the natbib package I already used in the .tex document.

Thank you again
