## Description

CSL, the Citation Style Language, is a project developed by a dedicated team of authors, publishers, and developers. Led by Bruce D’Arcus, CSL has been shaped by contributions from individuals like Frank G. Bennett, Jr., and Rintze M. Zelle. With the maintenance of CSL styles and locales GitHub repositories overseen by Sebastian Karcher, the project continues to evolve thanks to various contributors in the community.

Supported by patrons like Zotero, Mendeley, Elsevier, RefWorks, Paperpile, and Bibcitation, CSL receives essential funding to thrive and expand its impact. If you're looking to contribute, you can star their GitHub repository, become a CSL style author, or participate in CSL development. Acknowledge CSL in your software or consider supporting the open-source community around CSL.

Join CSL in their mission to enhance citation styles and formats for researchers and scholars worldwide!
