Hello citeproc-js and CSL mailing lists,

We would like to share some recent news about Mendeley Web. On the  
article pages, like:  
[http://www.mendeley.com/research/the-anatomy-of-a-largescale-hypertextual-web-search-engine/](http://www.mendeley.com/research/the-anatomy-of-a-largescale-hypertextual-web-search-engine/)  
, at the bottom, there is a “Cite this document (BETA)”.

It’s Beta because there are still some issues to polish, working on  
it, etc. but it’s the first step. Soon will be better.

Behind the scenes is using the Citation Style Language and citeproc-js  
as a engine (not the last version, so contains some bugs that has  
recently been fixed). The styles currently provided were fetched from  
Zotero repository and converted to CSL 1.0.

Also, in Mendeley Desktop, we are working to use citeproc-js as a  
citation engine for the next major release (hence the bugreports or  
comments to citeproc-js mailing list regarding QtWebKit).

We have added some references to the projects in  
[http://www.mendeley.com/citationstyles](http://www.mendeley.com/citationstyles)

Thank-you to everyone who has worked on the CSL 1.0 specification and  
processor implementations.

Hopefully this will help to spread CSL and citeproc-js a bit more.

A side note: next week we have an Open Office Friday in Mendeley (20th  
August, London):

> **[Join us for Open Office Friday!](https://blog.mendeley.com/2010/08/02/join-us-for-open-office-friday/)**
>
> Open Office Friday is coming up once again! If you don’t remember what this is – it’s when we open up our office to friends and users of Mendeley and have a bit of a party. Please…

  
. If someone wants to come and chat about something (e.g. research,  
wishes about citation styles integration in Mendeley, etc. etc.) you  
are invited.

Best regards,–
