International Committee of Medical Journal
The vancouver.bst bibliographic style file (for LATEX/BibTEX) is generated
with the docstrip utility and modified manually to meet the “Uniform Require-ments for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals” as published in NEngl J Med 1997;336:309-315. (also known as the Vancouver style). This speci-fication may be found on the web page of the International Committe of MedicalJournal Editors. 1 The following samples of reference citation formats were takenfrom the National Library of Medicine web site to show what works and whatdoes not (yet). 2
In order to meet all citation formats, several entry types – such as @map,
@patent, @dictionary and @webpage – and fields – such as inventor, as-signee (for patents), cartographer (for maps), part, lastchecked, and up-dated (for webpages). For proper use of these entries and fields I refer to thevancouver.bib file included with the package.
List the first six authors followed by et al. (Note: NLM now lists all authors.)Halpern SD, Ubel PA, Caplan AL. Solid-organ transplantation in HIV-infectedpatients. N Engl J Med. 2002 Jul 25;347(4):284-7. 3
As an option, if a journal carries continuous pagination throughout a volume
(as many medical journals do) the month and issue number may be omitted. Halpern SD, Ubel PA, Caplan AL. Solid-organ transplantation in HIV-infectedpatients. N Engl J Med. 2002;347:284-7. 4
