Citation Styles Language (CSL)

Citation Styles Language (CSL) is a system designed to help organize and format bibliographic references consistently. It allows users to create citations for various sources, like books, articles, and websites, according to specific style guides (such as APA, MLA, or Chicago). CSL uses a set of rules to structure citations, ensuring that they are clear and accurate, making it easier for readers to find the original sources. It is often used in reference management software, enabling writers to easily switch between different citation styles as needed for their projects.
