Different way to cite
Hello everyone. I'm new to Zotero and I was Wondering if there are more than one way to cite.
For example, can "This is one way to cite (Brown, 2010)" be cited as "Brown (2010) said this is one way to cite"?

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
You don't mention what style you're using, or if you've installed the Zotero plugin for your word processor.
Once you've installed the Zotero plugin for your word processor you can insert a citation by clicking on the Add/Edit Citation button and choosing a document from your library.
When doing so for the first time you'll be prompted to select an appropriate citation style.
When using an author-date style simply inserting a citation should give you a citation formatted as your first example.
To format as the second, click on the autor's name in the Quick Format Citation dialog and select 'Suppress Author'.
I suggest creating a dummy document with some text that you can have a play around with to see how it works.
