Vancouver is a numbered style, meaning in-text citations are represented by a number (1), (3), (5) or (2-4, 8) and used to acknowledge ideas of author(s) you have included in the body of your assignment. The details of these citations are then included in a reference list, organised numerically not alphabetically, at the end of your assignment.
Official manuals
There are two commonly used versions of the Vancouver style. Use these official manuals to find examples to help you format your in-text citations and reference lists.
