First, org-cite is a framework for citations. When reporting issues
related to it, you really need to identify what processor(s) you are
seeing the behavior with.

[cite/t:@key] should work as you expect in natbib, biblatex, csl.

Possible issues, depending on which of those you're using:

- some error with the bib file; or a mismatch between the file and the
bibtex dialect or something
- the citation style

A complete MWE would help.
