Over the past few months, Citation Style Language developers have worked to address a backlog of feature requests. This work will be reflected in two upcoming releases. The first of these, 1.0.2, is slated for release shortly. Its focus is on easy to implement, non-controversial additions, principally new item types, fields, and terms.

For their third straight year, Mendeley and Elsevier have kindly supported the open source Citation Style Language project with a $5000 donation. Donations allow us to hire developers for small projects, purchase materials such as the latest style manuals, and support our style repository maintainers. We’re very grateful for this continuing sponsorship! In July, Carles Pina from Mendeley also updated over 150 CSL styles for Elsevier journals.

For a second year, Mendeley and Elsevier have generously supported the CSL project with a $5,000 donation. Donations like these allow us to dedicate time to the project, cover expenses, and pay out bounties for third-party work—in short, they help to keep CSL thriving. Our heartfelt thanks!

Today, with 30 software products using the Citation Style Language (CSL), and a style repository with over 7700 styles, we are excited to announce that Papers and Springer have made a $5000 donation to CSL. Our collaboration with Papers started in 2011, when Papers2 for Mac shipped with CSL-based citation features.

CSL has seen a lot of growth in recent years: more than 20 software products use CSL (see the citationstyles.org frontpage), and we offer over 6750 free citation styles, covering thousands of scientific journals. We could only have come this far with our great user community, and with a lot of institutional support from Mendeley, Papers, Zotero, and others.

The Citation Style Language (CSL) team is happy to announce CSL 1.0.1. CSL 1.0.1 is an (almost completely) backwards compatible release, and CSL 1.0 styles and locale files don’t have to be updated to work with CSL 1.0.1-compatible software. CSL 1.0.1 is a relatively minor update, but adds a variety of new features to CSL, and an extra layer of polish to both the specification and schema.

It’s been a year since version 1.0 of the Citation Style Language was released, but now is as an exciting time as ever.
