Square brackets around citations in text

When I build the bookdown PDF, the in-text references in the output PDF are surrounded by square brackets, not round brackets as expected.

For example:

example.Rmd
This is a reference in text [@xie2015].

example.pdf
This is a reference in text [Xie,2015].

Here is the bib entry:

  @Book{xie2015,
    title = {Dynamic Documents with {R} and knitr},
    author = {Yihui Xie},
    publisher = {Chapman and Hall/CRC},
    address = {Boca Raton, Florida},
    year = {2015},
    edition = {2nd},
    note = {ISBN 978-1498716963},
    url = {http://yihui.org/knitr/},
  }

The bookdown version: 0.35.1
RStudio Server 2023.06.1 Build 524

I've looked online extensively but not found a solution yet.

This was resolved by adding biblio-style: "apalike":

  bibliography:
    - book.bib
    - packages.bib
    - articles.bib
  biblio-style: "apalike"
