I am wanting to write my thesis with LaTeX. My problem is, that my university demands a certain citation style, which they provide as a .csl or .ccs file.
Is there some way to use that in LaTeX / BibTeX?
[Tex/LaTex] Use .csl or .ccs for bibtex

It's always the best using a tool to create the bibliography. The standard mechanism for LaTeX is
- Saving the information in a file with the extension
bib. - Using BibTeX or
biblatex/biberto create the bibliography.
The complete steps and the interaction are well explained in most common introductions.
Using the standard compilation BibTeX you can use a predefined style. A collection of available styles and their results can be found here: BibTeX and bibliography
If you don't find a suitable style and you want to use BibTeX you can create your own style by using custom-bib which is also compatible with natbib.
The second and most recommend method is the usage of biblatex. You can use a style provided by the package itself or you use a contributed style. The question/answer of
Guidelines for customizing biblatex styles helps you for the first step.

previews.json - Conversion to BibTeX: see Zotero forum discussion
- The automatic conversion was not complete. Publication date fields had to be entered manually. The Bibtexkeys were also created manually.
Eventually, the conversion process taught an interesting lesson:
@INBOOK entries should not be used. Use @INCOLLECTION instead.
Furthermore, a CSL style bug could be corrected.
Happy CSL testing!

of respiration (see text), baker's yeast cells convert half of the
xylose to xylitol and ethanol, whereas P. stipilis cells display
rather a homofermentative conversion of xylose to ethanol. Xylitol
production by baker's yeast is interpreted as a result of the dual
cofactor dependence of the {XR} and the generation of {NADPH} by
the pentose phosphate pathway. Further limitations of xylose utilization
in S. cerevisiae cells are very likely caused by an insufficient
capacity of the non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway, as indicated
by accumulation of sedoheptulose-7-phosphate and the absence of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate
and pyruvate accumulation. By contrast, uptake at high substrate
concentrations probably does not limit xylose conversion in S. cerevisiae

then assigns a client identifier to the client system and associates
the assigned client identifier with the received purchaser information.
The server system sends to the client system the assigned client
identifier and an {HTML} document identifying the item and including
an order button. The client system receives and stores the assigned
client identifier and receives and displays the {HTML} document.
In response to the selection of the order button, the client system
sends to the server system a request to purchase the identified item.
The server system receives the request and combines the purchaser
information associated with the client identifier of the client system

Pandoc can read and write
texfiles and usecslfiles to generate citations and bibliography. So, you can try something like:pandoc File.tex --bibliography=Bibfile.bib --csl=Mycsl.csl -o FileWithBib.texand then latexFileWithBib.tex.If you use this, you must write the preamble in
FileWithBib.tex
