Introduction
------------

The independent open source [Citation Style Language](https://citationstyles.org/) (CSL) project aims to facilitate scholarly communication by automating the formatting of citations and bibliographies.
The primary components of the CSL ecosystem are:

* The CSL schema and specification, which describe how the XML-based CSL styles and locale files should be written and interpreted
* Curated repositories of CSL styles and locale files
* Third party CSL processors, software libraries for rendering formatted citation and bibliographies from CSL styles, CSL locale files, and item metadata

This README describes our official curated repository of CSL styles, hosted at https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/.
CSL locale files, which provide default localization data for CSL styles (such as translations and date formats), can be found at https://github.com/citation-style-language/locales.

For more information about CSL and CSL styles, check out https://citationstyles.org/ and the information files in this repository ([Style Requirements](https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/STYLE_REQUIREMENTS.md), [Style Development](https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/STYLE_DEVELOPMENT.md), [Requesting Styles](https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/REQUESTING.md), [Contributing Styles](https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md), and [Quality Control](https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/QUALITY_CONTROL.md)).

Criteria for inclusion
----------------------

The official CSL style repository is the only repository of its kind, is used by dozens of third-party software products, and is relied upon by hundreds of thousands of users.
The popularity of this repository is in large part due to its crowd-sourced nature, and, we believe, also due to our careful curation.
While we evaluate style submissions on a case-by-case basis, we generally use the following criteria for inclusion in the CSL style repository:

* Styles must be of sufficient quality and meet our [style requirements](https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/STYLE_REQUIREMENTS.md).
  While we may be able to assist with this, its ultimately the subm
