Thanks John for this, its not quite working as I'd like, so I'll explain it with examples. * Case 1 - original setup --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Source = The remaining 'other place' deaths include over 150 described as 'psychiatric hospitals', 'psychiatric hospitals (security)' or 'psychiatric unit' (cite:0113). Pdf = The remaining ’other place’ deaths include over 150 described as ’psychiatric hospitals’, ’psychiatric hospitals (security)’ or ’psychiatric unit’ (WILSON , 2015). --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- * Case 2 - brackets removed round citation --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Source = The remaining 'other place' deaths include over 150 described as 'psychiatric hospitals', 'psychiatric hospitals (security)' or 'psychiatric unit' cite:0113. Pdf = The remaining ’other place’ deaths include over 150 described as ’psychiatric hospitals’, ’psychiatric hospitals (security)’ or ’psychiatric unit’ WILSON , 2015. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- * Case 3 - with John's coding --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Source = The remaining 'other place' deaths include over 150 described as 'psychiatric hospitals', 'psychiatric hospitals (security)' or 'psychiatric unit' (cite:0113). And with your coding and built as pdf = The remaining ’other place’ deaths include over 150 described as ’psychiatric hospitals’, ’psychiatric hospitals (security)’ or ’psychiatric unit’ (). --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- * Case 4 - with John's coding --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Source = The remaining 'other place' deaths include over 150 described as 'psychiatric hospitals', 'psychiatric hospitals (security)' or 'psychiatric unit' cite:0113. And with your coding and built as pdf = The remaining ’other place’ deaths include over 150 described as ’psychiatric hospitals’, ’psychiatric hospitals (security)’ or ’psychiatric unit’ . --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- - Case 1 is the start point and as it currently is. - Case 2 is an interim stage, with the circular brackets round the citation removed. When its exported the sentence looks ugly with out any differentiation between the text and the citation. - Case 3 is with John's coding snippet being applied and the whole exported, and it leaves the circular brackets round the citation behind but no citation. - Case 4 is with John's coding snippet applied after the circular brackets have been removed, and is nirvana! :) But it would be a mammoth undertaking going through and removing all the circular brackets round the citations, and there's 381 references in the bibliography, so is it possible for your code snippet to temporarily remove the circular brackets as part of its building the tex file please?
