CCL: citation style



Mendeley uses Citation Style Language (CSL), just like Zotero. You can see if there is already a style for the journal you require in the Zotero Style Repository: http://www.zotero.org/styles

People also create styles, put them in the GitHub for Zotero and share them by posting to the Zotero forums. Hence you could also try looking there ( http://forums.zotero.org/11/), as somebody might have created the style you want but it hasn't made it to the official repository above (I say this because I shared one I created in May via the forums but it's not in the repository yet).

Unfortunately I don't think there is an existing style that suits your needs (I searched for 'molecular structure' and found nothing), so you have two options:

1. Request a style, and a helpful (Zotero) user might create it for you: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Requesting-Styles

2. Create the style yourself. It's best to take an existing, closely-related CSL file and adjust it to your needs. You can find useful information here: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Editing-Styles and an example, step-by-step guide here: http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step
If you do create a style, don't forget to give it back to the community for that warm, fuzzy feeling!

Hope that helps.


P.S. FWIW, I seem to recall there once was an .ens to .csl converter developed by the Zotero crew, but it was swiftly buried when Thomson-Reuters (EndNote) sued George Mason U (Zotero) because of this very feature.

Dear CCL members, 

      This question regards to citation style. I'm about to finish a paper for a journal (Journal of Molecular structure:theochem).As you know it is painful to write 50 or more references manually and manage them. I am mendeley user but this citation style is not there in mendeley repo ( use .csl extension). I have the citation style for Endnote (.ens extension). So need a help to write my citation in above journal format. Please suggest the easiest way. Is there  any way to convert the .ens to .csl or any valuable suggestion from your side. I will be grateful to you. Thank you.
