BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ apalike - no brackets

[xbender]

Hi,

I am using apalike package and I would like to make a reference to one article inside a normal paragraph text. Apalike package makes all the refs inside round brackets, is there a way to make refs without brackets?
thank you!! The aim is to have normal lookint text with ref "The same problem is adressed by Hosken, 2004.", not "The same problem is adressed by (Hosken, 2004)".
thank you!

Are you using the natbib package already? If not, you should consider it. It has different citation commands for different purposes (\citealt would be the one you want, though there are a lot of other options.)
