Cite Them Right 13th edition compatible Zotero citation style – Subscription
A CSL citation style for Zotero that follows Cite Them Right, 13th edition. Covers the full range of source types, including the ones most styles get wrong. Annual subscription, licensed to your Zotero user ID, updated as the guidance changes.
$19.99 / Year
The gap between 'nearly right' and right is where marks get lost.
This style was built the slow way. Every example in the 13th edition was worked through in turn, entered into Zotero as a real item, and checked against the printed guidance — in-text and in the bibliography. Where the guidance and CSL could both be satisfied, they were. Where they couldn't, the compromise was chosen deliberately and documented.
Why it's a subscription
Citation guidance changes, Zotero changes, and CSL changes and bugs get found. A style file that was correct two years ago quietly stops being correct. Your subscription covers ongoing correction and maintenance for as long as you hold it, delivered automatically. The changelog tab shows what that has meant in practice.

No. The Cite Shop is an independent business. This style is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the publisher or authors of Cite Them Right. It is an independently produced CSL style written to follow the published guidelines as closely as possible.
It follows the 13th of the Cite Them Right guidelines. The edition is stated on this page and inside the file itself, so you always know what you're working with.
Download our plugin, add your licence details, install the style. The included guide covers it in under a minute. The style can now be applied to any document.
Check it. The attached specimen PDF shows every source type formatted as the style produces it — compare it against your own copy of the guidelines before you buy. If you find something that doesn't match, tell us and we'll fix it.
Zotero. The style is built and tested for Zotero, and support and updates cover Zotero only. As a Zotero plugin is required to install the style, only Zotero is supported.
Yes. If the guidelines change or a correction is needed, you'll get the updated file automatically at no extra cost, for as long as your subscription is active.
Yes. You can install the plugin+style for example on your work and private computer. Note though that your licence will be linked to your Zotero account, so you can only use it with one single Zotero account.
So that updates reach you. When the guidelines change or we fix a bug, The Cite Shop Client Sync fetches the new version of the style automatically instead of you having to remember to come back for it. This way you always have access to the latest version.
Yes. It's $19.99 a year, which covers the style, every update to it, and support (about the citation style. Support about Zotero is not included). It renews automatically on the anniversary of your purchase unless you cancel, and we'll email you before each renewal so it's never a surprise.
From your account page, in a couple of clicks — no email, no form, no explanation required. Cancel at any point and your licence stays active until the end of the year you've already paid for.
Because the style is delivered immediately and can be used straight away, you'll confirm at checkout that you're waiving the 14-day cancellation right for the initial subscription — the standard arrangement for digital downloads. That's also why we publish the full specimen bibliography free: check it against the guidelines before you buy, and you'll know exactly what you're getting. If something doesn't match the published guidelines, we'll correct it. Renewals are different: cancel a renewal within 14 days and we'll refund it in full, no questions.
No. Given the nature of the product and the fact it's made available immediately, we cannot do refunds on citation styles. Note that on checkout you will waive your right for a refund.
