How to add citation styles to Mendeley - note to self.

Save time by knowing how to use correct cytation style in Word!!

1. Mendeley does not have the citation style I need...
2. Look for external website that has csl (citation style language) file for that specific journal. In today's case: https://paperpile.com/s/journal-of-the-science-of-food-and-agriculture-citation-style/#detailed-journal-info
3. Open the csl file in another tab.
4. Copy the URL of the csl file. No need to save it as a file.  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/citation-style-language/styles/master/journal-of-the-science-of-food-and-agriculture.csl
5. Open Mendeley --> View --> Citation style --> More style --> Get more styles tab --> Paste the link into the "Download style" box on the bottom. Voila! Word now has this style available!
