-===  What is a style? === 
- 
-A style describes is the layout and formatting of the output from Zotero. Styles can be selected through the [[preferences/styles|Style Manager]] in Zotero's [[preferences|Preferences]]. 
- 
-Zotero uses the open [[http://citationstyles.org/|Citation Style Language]] (CSL) format for configuring the citation formatting.  CSL is independent of any particular application, document format, or programming language. 
- 
-=== Which style should I use? === 
- 
-There are over 1250 styles already in the [[/styles|Zotero Style Repository]]. If you are writing for a specific journal, their style may already be supported.  If not, you can [[requesting_styles|request a new style]]. 
- 
-If you are writing a report or assignment, your supervisor or institution may specify a style.  If not, chose the style [[kb/style_standards|specified by a professional association]] in your field. 
- 
-If you use Zotero with the [[word_processor_integration|word processor plugin]], the style can easily be changed at any time.
