# Contributing to Academic
For **help**, **support**, and **questions** please use our **[community chat](https://spectrum.chat/academic)** 🚑.
---
## Where to Start
Learn [how to contribute code on Github](https://codeburst.io/a-step-by-step-guide-to-making-your-first-github-contribution-5302260a2940).
If you're a developer looking to contribute, but you're not sure where to begin, check out the [good first issue](https://github.com/gcushen/hugo-academic/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22) label on Github, which contains small tasks that have been specifically flagged as being friendly to new contributors.
After that, if you're looking for something a little more challenging to sink your teeth into, there's a broader [help wanted](https://github.com/gcushen/hugo-academic/labels/help%20wanted) label encompassing issues which need some love.
If you have a straightforward bug fix or improvement, feel free to contribute it in a [Pull Request](https://github.com/gcushen/hugo-academic/pulls).
If you have an idea for a new feature, please start by [searching the issues](https://github.com/gcushen/hugo-academic/issues) to check that the feature has not already been suggested and then suggest it by [opening a new issue](https://github.com/gcushen/hugo-academic/issues/new/choose), as adding new features to Academic first requires some analysis around the design and spec.
To contribute a **new language pack**, refer to the [language pack guide](https://sourcethemes.com/academic/docs/language/#create-or-modify-a-language-pack). Once created, place you language pack in `academic/i18n/`, add the name of the language to `academic/data/i18n/language.yaml`, and open a Pull Request on Github with these two files.
To contribute to **Academic Admin**, the automatic publication importer, refer to [its dedicated Github repository](https://github.com/sourcethemes/academic-admin).
