Different ways to cite an author in Beamer Latex

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

Rodrigue
