% The next two paragraphs illustrate correct citations and should not be part of your thesis!
\citeA{karreman2018academic} give many examples of active citations. But passive citations are also used in practice \cite{karreman2018academic}.
The paper by \citeA{knuth1984literate} appears in the references in a different style than the conference proceeding article by \citeA{foster2003statistical}. Books also have their own style \cite[Chapter 6]{karreman2018academic}.
