nAs you write be sure to document your source materials by using citations and references.
A citation is used in the body of a document to indicate the use of another publication, whether someone else's or your own.
nEach citation corresponds with a full reference that provides complete information to help the reader obtain the materials: authors, article title, journal title, publication date, volume, issue, and page number.
The entire list of references appears at the end of the paper and contains all the references cited in a paper.
Most medical literature uses the Vancouver citation style, which is a numerical sequence form of presenting references. In the Vancouver style, indicate a citation with the use of superscript numerals in the text of your paper where you are referencing someone else's publication. Those numerals correspond to the full citations for each reference that will appear at the end of your paper. Therefore, your list of references is organized by the sequence (indicated by the number) in which they appear in your paper.
