Citing medical literature
Abstract
A scientific text based on research is distinguished from other texts in that it consistently references the relevant sources. In this article, we take a closer look at the Vancouver reference style, as it is the one most commonly used in medicine and the health sciences. Presented are the most common examples of citing basic bibliographic information for papers in peer-reviewed journals, proceedings papers, monographs and information sources on the internet. Included are also basic guidelines for labelling, reproducing and citing tables and figures, along with examples. Modern tools for reference and citation editing are also briefly introduced as well as their functionalities.
