Styles
Latest version of all stylesIntroduction
The main goal of this project is to collect and maintain a number of bibliography styles which can be used by Microsoft Word 2007 and later. Most styles are either created using
BibWord or derived from the styles which come with Microsoft Word.
Each family of styles comes with its own release page. Whenever bugs are fixed or new types are added, the same release gets updated.
Everybody who wants to submit a style can do so by contacting one of the project coordinators. The only requirement for putting a style on the project page, is that you release your style under the MIT license. That basically allows people to do whatever they want with your style as long as they give you credit for it.
