Citation Styles Language

Citation Styles Language (CSL) is a standardized system that helps researchers and writers automatically format citations and bibliographies according to different style guides (like APA, MLA, Chicago). It works with reference management tools to ensure consistency and accuracy in citing sources. By using CSL, users can select a preferred citation style, and the software applies the correct formatting rules, saving time and reducing errors. Essentially, CSL acts as a universal translator for citation formatting, making it easier to comply with various scholarly standards across disciplines and publications.
