Automation of non-parenthetical in-text citations possible in APA?
Zotero and the APA style handle parenthetical in-text citations very well. This is particularly important given the distinction between first and subsequent citations. However, afaik, this does not extend to non-parenthetical in-text citations, which have to be handled manually incl. suppressing the authors within the parentheses. This can lead to mistakes as the distinction between first and subsequent citations is not automatically updated anymore. Would it be possible to automatize non parenthetical in-text citations in the same way as parenthetical in-text citations? Could not the whole field code consist of, for instance, {Grainger, Purnell, and Zipf (2008, p. 140)} and {Grainger et al. (2008, p. 138)} respectively?

Do you know of any other program that satisfies APA's complex requirements?
