If we were limited to using independent CSL styles, every journal’s CSL style would need to contain a full definition of the citation format, even though it would be the same for each journal. Take a publisher which uses a single citation format for all its journals. Instead of providing a definition of a citation format, a dependent style simply refers to an independent CSL style (its “parent”), whose citation format will be used instead.ĭependent styles come in handy when multiple CSL styles share the same citation format. We call this self-describing information style metadata, and it can include the title of the journal for which the CSL style was created, a link to that journal’s website, the name of the creator of the CSL style, etc.Ī dependent CSL style, on the other hand, only contains style metadata. Secondly, the CSL style must describe itself.
What does the format look like? Is it an “author-date” style, or a “note” style? Are cites ordered alphabetically, or by date? Should bibliographic entries include DOIs? What punctuation and capitalization should be used? Does the year of publication come before or after the title? Etcetera, etcetera. There are two types: independent styles and dependent styles.Īn independent CSL style has two functions: first, it needs to define a citation format. Styles! Everything in the world of CSL revolves around styles. Zwart KB, Veenhuis M, Harder W (1983) Significance of yeast peroxisomes in the metabolism of choline and ethanolamine. Van der Klei IJ, Harder W, Veenhuis M (1991) Methanol metabolism in a peroxisome-deficient mutant of Hansenula polymorpha: a physiological study.

There is also no such thing as a single official “Harvard” style. Note that many style guides use the confusing term “Harvard” to refer to author-date formats, even though most of these styles have no connection to Harvard University. Bibliographic entries are typically sorted alphabetically by author. 1983)”, whereas cites of author styles only show names, e.g. Cites of author-date styles show author names and the date of publication, e.g.
