The official curated repository of Citation Style Language (CSL) citation styles, containing over 10,000 XML style files used to format citations and bibliographies. It is the canonical style collection relied upon by reference managers like Zotero, Mendeley, and many other scholarly publishing tools.
Use cases
- find a citation style for a specific journal
- format bibliographies in APA or MLA style
- add a custom citation style to Zotero
- contribute a new CSL style for a journal
- integrate citation formatting into my writing tool
- download CSL styles for pandoc
When to choose
- you need citation style files for a reference manager or document processor
- you are developing software that renders citations and bibliographies
- you need a journal-specific citation style
When to avoid
- you need a library or processor to render citations from CSL styles (use a CSL processor instead)
- you need locale/localization files (use the CSL locales repository)
