5 day of referencing (#su5dor): Day 5 - Vancouver Referencing

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. 

Where can I find information about Vancouver referencing? 

You will find information and guidance on Vancouver referencing:  

• Through an online Vancouver referencing guide which has lots of helpful examples
• In your subject’s Library Guide under the Referencing Tab 
• In a printable Vancouver guide (Short) or Vancouver guide (Full)

Where can I go for further help? 

Have a look at your subject’s Library Guide page. There you’ll find lots of ways to ask for help: 

• Ask a question using Ask a Librarian instant chat 
• Email your subject librarians 
• Book an appointment with your subject librarians
