Library

Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

The University of Sydney Library acknowledges that our buildings, collections, and practices exist on unceded Aboriginal lands. We recognise the diversity and knowledges of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff and students across all the lands the University stands on, and respect the ongoing connection Aboriginal people have to these lands, their cultural practices, knowledge systems and histories. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, who have handed down custodianship to each generation for more than 60,000 years.

About Vancouver referencing

The Vancouver referencing style is a numeric style used in the medical sciences.

Vancouver style is based on guidelines established by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). In this style:

References in the text, tables, and legends are sequentially numbered using numbers enclosed in parentheses. These numbers correspond to the full citations listed numerically in the reference list. Numbers in superscript format are also acceptable, depending on the specific requirements of individual journals or academic departments.

Journal titles in the Vancouver style are abbreviated according to National Library of Medicine abbreviations.

Manuals and resources

For a comprehensive set of examples of the style: Citing Medicine: the NLM style guide for authors, editors, and publishers
For a complete style guide for writing from the American Medical Association: AMA Manual of style: a guide for authors and editors
For recommendations from the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE): Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly work in Medical Journals
