\cite and \nocite are traditional bibTeX usage (in LaTeX).

\nocitation (\nocite) is a hidden citation, i.e. it pulls an entry from the dataset, including it in the bibliography list, but does not render a reference in the text.

This is useful, for example, to force a reference tag at the place where a table or figure is called, but to postpone the rendering of the reference to the bibliography to figure later in the floated table or figure.

\nocite does the same thing as \cite[none] [key]

so we have \let\cite \citation \let\nocite\nocitation (i think Wolfgang was referring to the fact that we aliased to \listcitation, one of the 4 variants needed to satisfy mojca's hunger for all kind of citations)

Hi,

the bibliography module redefines the \citation two lines after the first definition and drops the \citation{...} method, is this intended?

Line 1386:

\unexpanded\def\citation {\doifelsenextoptionalcs\btxlistcitation \btxdirectlistcite} \unexpanded\def\nocitation{\doifelsenextoptionalcs\btxhiddencitation\btxdirecthiddencite}

\let\citation \listcitation \let\cite \citation \let\nocitation\nocitation \let\nocite\nocitation
