exclude name in citation latex in thesis

Question

I'm compiling my thesis on LaTeX and in a quote I would need not to display the name but only the year of publication, as in this example:

you can read the text of Bregman (1990)

instead, I get:

you can read the text of Bregman (Bregman 1990)

I am attaching the part of the code that I have set up for the management of the bibliography, thanks

\usepackage[backend=bibtex, style=authoryear-ibid, bibstyle=authortitle, sorting=nty, bibencoding=ascii]{biblatex}

Answer 1

You can use \textcite to get a citation in the format <Author> (<Year>) or you can use \autocite* to get only (<year>). The latter can then be combined with \citeauthor or a manual mention of the author name.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[backend=biber, style=authoryear-ibid]{biblatex}

\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\begin{document}
Lorem \textcite{sigfridsson}

Dolor \autocite{nussbaum}

Lorem \citeauthor{sigfridsson} \autocite*{sigfridsson}

\printbibliography
\end{document}

Instead of \autocite* you could also use \parencite*; there is also \cite*.

Note that I simplified the style setup and switched to a true author-year style in the bibliography and citations. The MWE also uses Biber and not BibTeX. But that is just to make the MWE more straightforward, the core of the answer is \textcite and \autocite*.
