I am interested in citation style language. I want to improve myself but edit citations or create from zero is really hard to success.

Which way do you advice to educate myself? what are Videos or Books could you offer?

Basic guidelines: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step

Guidelines for submitting to the official CSL repository (which includes many general good guidelines for producing styles in general): https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Style-Requirements

Im not sure if this is what you're asking, but I have had cause to modify a citation and reference styles (usually for grant applications when word count is strictly limited - so the referencing may be first author, year and journal only). I use a site like this one

https://editor.citationstyles.org/about/

Then I fInd a style that is close to what I need then edit it and install to Zotero. To be clear this is not for sharing or uploading to the Zotero style repository, I only use it for bespoke styles that suit a specific need. There are almost certainly better ways since Im far from an expert at using the CSL style.

There is a bunch of videos on YouTube that could help you use the VisualEditor Nick73 linked to.
