How does the Vancouver style of referencing work? 

Here are some points to remember: 

  • The Vancouver style is a numbered system.   
  • Each reference is given a number as it first appears in the text. 
  • The number given becomes the unique identifier for that reference. 
  • The reference number may be written in round brackets (1), square brackets [1] or superscript1. 
  • The cited references are listed at the end of the text and the references are listed numerically.
