-===== What are Dependent and Independent Styles?=====
+Integrated into [[/support/styles|styles]].
-It is quite common to have multiple publications sharing a certain style (e.g. Nature Biotechnology uses the same bibliographic style as Nature). To avoid having numerous duplicates in the [[/styles|Zotero Style Repository]], all of which would have to be maintained individually, Zotero supports dependent styles.
-A dependent style (e.g. named “Nature Biotechnology”) simply points to the more generic independent style with the same style formatting (in this case “Nature”).  This allows all journals to be listed individually at the [[/styles|style repository]], but styles which are identical are not needlessly copied.
-The [[/styles|Zotero style repository]] allows you to filter the list of styles to view independent (different) styles only.
