New citation styles can be added

Citation styles change all the time, and new ones are published regularly. If you know of a style that we do not support, feel free to contact our support team (mentioned above) and suggest that we add it. In order to make the process as fast as possible, please include a link to documentation with the style rules/formatting. We are also always happy to hear suggestions on how to improve our existing styles.
