Using brackets with Harvard Referencing Style in biblatex

Question

I'm new to using LaTex. I'm trying to put references in the Harvard style. So far I have managed to get the reference right. Below is my code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=bibtex,style=authoryear]{biblatex}
\bibliography{export}

\begin{document}
My Name is Mary \textcite{6824747}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

My export.bib file looks like this:

@online{6824747,
title = "Computational Modeling",
url = "http://www.nibib.nih.gov/science-education/science-topics/computational-modeling",
urldate = "2015-08-31",
year = "2013",
month = "07"
}

Below is how my reference looks like

My question is how to include my reference with in brackets? For example My Name is Mary (Computational Modeling 2013). Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

You can use \parencite instead of \textcite. In this particular case \autocite also works. See the biblatex documentation for the list of available citation commands. The example below also demonstrates \footcite.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=bibtex,style=authoryear]{biblatex}

\addbibresource{export.bib}

\begin{document}
My Name is Mary \textcite{6824747}.

My Name is Mary \parencite{6824747}.

My Name is Mary \footcite{6824747}.

My Name is Mary \autocite{6824747}.

\printbibliography
\end{document}
