Citation Styles

Overview

Scholastica supports commonly used citation styles – including MLA, AMA, APA, Chicago Author-Date, etc. Internally, citation styles are supported via the Citation Style Language (CSL) specification.

Journals subscribed to Typesetting or OA Publishing can update citation styles from Publishing Settings.

Selecting your journal's citation style

You can select your journal's citation style by visiting My Journals > Publishing > Publishing Settings and clicking "Edit". This will open a modal where you can select from a list of supported citation styles.

How to change citation style

What happens after I change my citation style?

Changing your journal's citation style is a big decision which should not be taken lightly. New articles will use the new citation style going forward, and existing articles can be updated individually by your team or in bulk by Scholastica, upon request. Changing your journal's citation style does not retroactively update existing articles.
