n. Writing Bibliography Based on Vancouver Style Format.
Some characteristics of writing with Vancouver bibliography style are :

• A number in parentheses (round brackets), 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 citations.

• No distinction is made between print and electronic references when citing within the text.

• Here are some examples of this kind of referencing :

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 date of the reference unless it is relevant to your text.

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

Based on the type of reference, here are the guidelines and examples of writing a bibliography based on Vancouver style:

Book
The basic pattern of writing a reference from books are:

•  Only the author's initials are included regardless of the presentation of the author's name in the source document.

•  Capitalisation practice should be consistent.

•  Titles and subtitles of books are given minimal capitalisation.

•  Only the first letter of the first word of the title and proper nouns (the names of peoples, place or organisations, etc.) are capitalised.

•  Capitalise the "v" in Volume for a book title.

•  Information about places of publication should folllow the guidelines for place names.
