Suppressing the Author's name in the citation
If you have mentioned the author’s name in the preceding sentence, it is often the case that the short form cite should not repeat the author’s name. To suppress the author’s name in the citation, add an exclamation point to the beginning of your Access Key:

The significance of these . . . projects lies not only in their own accomplishments but in the new questions they lead us to ask. First, they all call attention to history, but not history as "one damned thing after another," as Leslie White used to say. "History," says Marice Godelier, "does not explain: it has to be explained" {!Godelier 1977:6}.

When Citation generates the intext citation for this key, the author’s name will be omitted.

Suppressing the Year of publication in the citation
If you have mentioned the year of publication in the preceding sentence, it is often the case that the short form cite should not repeat this date. To suppress the publication year in the citation, add an "@" at the beginning of the Access Key:
