  • How To Cite References - Vancouver Style

    The Vancouver (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors) Style is used

    primarily for publications in medicine, biomedicine, medical technology and allied

    health sciences.

    When using EndNote bibliographic software, please use the following output style -

    Vancouver.

    Please remember to check with your unit co-ordinator or tutor before submitting

    your assignments, as their style preference may vary from the guidelines presented

    here.

    The Vancouver style was first defined by a meeting of medical journal editors in

    Vancouver, Canada, in 1978. These guidelines follow the principles given in the

    Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals:

    Writing and editing for biomedical publication published by the International

    Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) in 2004 and the American

    Medical Association Manual of Style, 9th edition, 1998. These publications

    constitute authoritative international guides to Vancouver publication standards

    and style.

  • Vancouver Style uses a notational method of referencing when referring to a

    source of information within the text of a document. In its simplest form, a

    citation is given consisting of a number in superscript format or enclosed by

    round brackets.

    [Contents]

    Citation Within The Text

    Indicating the Relevant Reference in the Text

    A number in superscript format eg. 6 or enclosed in round brackets, eg. (1) or

    (26), placed in the text of the essay, indicates the relevant reference. Citations

    are numbered consecutively in the order in which they appear in the text and

    each citation corresponds to a numbered reference containing publication

    information about the source cited in the reference list at the end of the

    publication, essay or assignment. Once a source has been cited, the same number

    is used in all subsequent references. No distinction is made between print and

    electronic references when citing within the text.

    Here are some examples of this kind of referencing :

    Superscript Format

    The largest lesion in the first study was 10 cm.13

    The theory was first put forward in 1987.1

    Scholtz2 has argued that...

    Several recent studies3,4,15,16

    have suggested that...

    For example, see 7.

    Bracket Format

    The largest lesion in the first study was 10 cm (13).

    The theory was first put forward in 1987 (1).

    Scholtz (2) has argued that...

    Several recent studies (3,4,15,16) have suggested that...

    For example, see (7).

    It is not necessary to mention either the author(s) or the the date of the reference

    unless it is relevant to your text.

    It is not necessary to say "in reference (26) ...", "In (26) ..." is sufficient.

    Citing More Than One Reference at a Time

    When citing more than one source at a time, the preferred method is to list each

    reference number separately with a comma or dash (without spaces) between

    each reference:

    http://wwwlib.murdoch.edu.au/find/citation/vancouver.html#Contents
  • Superscript Format

    1,3,5

    1-5

    2-5,9,13

    Bracket Format

    (1,3,5)

    (1-5)

    (2-5,9,13)

    Including Page or Figure Numbers

    Page number references are rarely included when citing within the text of an

    assignment or essay when using Vancouver style. However, if you wish to be

    specific regarding the source of information, quotations or statistics, page or

    figure numbers may be given in the following format:

    Westman5(pp3-5),9

    reported 8 cases where vomiting occurred.

    These patients showed no sign of nausea.3(p21),4

    The incidence of the syndrome was rare.12(fig4)

    [Contents]

    Personal Communications

    Personal communications should be included in the text of your document, but

    they should not be included in your reference list. It is recommended that

    permission is sought from the source/author of a personal communication if you

    wish to include quotes in your text. The details you need to include when

    referencing in text are:

    o the date of the communication;

    o whether the communication was in oral or written form;

    o the affiliation of the person might also be included to better establish the

    relevance and authority of the citation (recommended).

    Conversation

    In a conversation with a colleague from the School of Population Health

    (Jameson LI 2002, oral communication, 7th August)...

    As stated in a letter from B.J. Samuels, MD, in July 2002...

    The Reference List or Bibliography

    A numbered list of references must be provided at the end of the paper. The list

    should be arranged in the order of citation in the text of the publication,

    assignment or essay, not in alphabetical order. List only one reference per

    reference number. It is very important that you use the correct punctuation and

    that the order of details in the references is also correct.

    The following examples demonstrate the format for a variety of types of

    references. Included are some examples of citing electronic documents. Such

    items come in many forms, so only some examples have been listed here.

  • Electronic Documents

    Note: When you cite an electronic source try to describe it in the same way you

    would describe a similar printed publication. If possible, give sufficient

    information for your readers to retrieve the source themselves.

    If only the first page number is given, a plus sign indicates following pages, eg.

    26+. If page numbers are not given, use paragraph or other section numbers if

    you need to be specific.

    An electronic source may not always contain clear author or publisher details.

    The access information will usually be just the URL of the source. As well as a

    publication/revision date (if there is one), the date cited is included since an

    electronic source may change between the time you cite it and the time it is

    accessed by a reader.

    A Reference List : What It Should Look Like

    The reference list should appear at the end of your paper. Begin the list on a new

    page. The title References should be either left justified or centered on the page.

    The entries should appear as one numerical sequence in the order that the

    material is cited in the text of your assignment.

    Note: The hanging indent for each reference makes the numerical sequence

    more obvious.
