Papers are a great citation tool. To use it effectively while writing, check and bookmark this page from Mekentosj which explains how to have citations look the way you want in your papers. For example, if you want to say ‘According to Smith (1997)’ your citation should be ‘According to {*Smith:1997tu}’ (i.e. add a star before the author name). There are dozens of such useful tips.
