Citation in square brackets

bibliographiescitingnatbib

I am preparing a paper to submit it for a journal using their template. When I cite a reference (natbib package) using \cite it appears as "authors (year)", using \citep it appears "(authors year)"…

Is there a way to cite a reference and to obtain "[authors year]" ?

(the template source is available in overleaf: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/taylor-and-francis-latex-template-for-authors-interact-layout-plus-chicago-reference-style/jfkyqxkxqhrs)

Using \bibpunct[, ]{[}{]}{;}{a}{}{,} => citation support using natbib.sty

\documentclass[]{interact}

\usepackage{natbib}% Citation support using natbib.sty

\bibpunct[, ]{[}{]}{;}{a}{}{,}% Citation support using natbib.sty % CHANGED <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

\renewcommand\bibfont{\fontsize{10}{12}\selectfont}% Bibliography support using natbib.sty

\begin{document}
