References/Bibliography Vancouver Style “How-to” guide

NOTE:

• • • •

A list of references contains details only of those works cited in the text. A bibliography lists sources not cited in the text but which are relevant to the subject and were used for background reading. Before you compile your bibliography/reference list check with your lecturer/tutor for the bibliographic style preferred by the Academic Department. A citation is an acknowledgement in your text of references that support your work. It is in the form of a number that correlates with a source in your reference list.

• • • • • •

There are many ways of setting out bibliographies and reference lists. The following are examples of one style – the Vancouver System. It is commonly used in medical and scientific journals. Your reference list should identify references cited (eg. book, journal article, pamphlet, internet site, cassette tape or film) in sufficient detail so that others may locate and consult your references. Your reference list should appear at the end of your essay/report with the entries listed numerically and in the same order that they have been cited in the text. If you have cited sources from the Internet, these should be in your reference list. The bibliography is a separate list from the reference list and should be arranged alphabetically by author or title (where no author is given) in the Vancouver Style. Punctuation marks and spaces in the reference list and citations are very important. Follow the punctuation and spacing exactly in the examples given.

INDICATING REFERENCES IN THE TEXT OF YOUR ESSAY
** It is important to BE CONSISTENT when you are referencing. **



In the Vancouver Style, citations within the text of your essay/paper are identified by Arabic numbers in round brackets. This applies to references in text, tables and figures. e.g. (2) – this is the style used by the referencing software Endnote. The identification of references within the text of your essay/paper may vary according to the preferred style of the journal or the preferred style of the department or lecturer. For example superscript may be preferred when referencing. The Vancouver System assigns a number to each reference as it is cited. A number must be used even if the author(s) is named in the sentence/text. Example: Smith (10) has argued that….







The original number assigned to the reference is reused each time the reference is cited in the text, regardless of its previous position in the text.

When multiple references are cited at a given place in the text, use a hyphen to join the first and last numbers that are inclusive. Use commas (without spaces) to separate noninclusive numbers in a multiple citation eg. 2,3,4,5,7,10 is abbreviated to (2-5,7,10) Do not use a hyphen if there are no citation numbers in between that support your statement eg. 12. The placement of citation numbers within text should be carefully considered, for example a particular reference may be relevant to only part of a sentence. As a general rule, reference numbers should be placed outside full stops and commas, inside colons and semicolons; however, this may vary according to the requirements of a particular journal. Examples: There have been efforts to replace mouse inoculation testing with invitro tests, such as enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (57,60) or polymerase chain reaction, (2022) but these remain experimental. Moir and Jessel maintain “that the sexes are interchangeable”. (1)

Canada

...The second largest country in the world, Canada has no shortage of beautiful landscapes and unique sites for travelers to explore. From coast to coast to coast, the country is home to vibrant and culturally rich cities, along with incredible natural wonders. In Western Canada, the Rocky Mountains and cities of Vancouver, Victoria, and Calgary dominate most itineraries. In Central Canada, Niagara Falls, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Quebec City, are some of the most popular possibilities. Awe-inspiring scenery, vibrant cities and a welcoming atmosphere all make Canada a popular tourist destination. As the largest country in North America, Canada is a vast land encompassing majestic mountains, spectacular coastlines, virgin forests, spacious prairies and Arctic tundra. Public transit is a great way for visitors to get around Toronto.  It's an easy, safe, and quick way to get around; in many cases it'll also save you a lot of money compared to renting a car and paying for expensive downtown parking. You pay a single fare for each one-way trip.  The same fare covers subways, streetcars, and buses within the City of Toronto. There are no fare "zones" to worry about.  You can transfer between routes for free as needed to reach your destination, but you'll need to pay a new fare for the return trip, or if you make a stopover (e.g. to shop, eat, or explore an area).

Drug Trafficking

...org/en/bc/bcpc/doc/2011/2011bcpc243/2011bcpc243.html This case took place in the Provincial Court of British Columbia, with Mr. Peter Andrew Hodgeson as the accused. Hodgeson is being prosecuted for trafficking cannabis marijuana, for breaching trust in connection with his duties as a member of the Vancouver Police Department, and for breach of trust in connection with his duties by improperly accessing the Police Records Information Management Environment (PRIME) to obtain details of an arrest for purpose contrary to s. 122 of the Criminal Code. This case may have been chosen by the editor because it relates to current issues, such as the legalization of marijuana and the current shut down of many drug houses throughout the lower mainland. This case is similar to many others, in regards to trafficking cannabis marijuana; however, it varies in regards to the trafficker. It is a rare commodity to have a member of a police department involved with the trafficking of cannabis marijuana, let alone any type of drug or illegal substance. This case is intriguing to the public because many want to know the outcome of the accused; whether his prosecution will be just or if there will be lenience because of his position as a member of the Vancouver Police Department. The public’s interest relating to this case tells us that society has become more intrigued in regards to the trafficking of cannabis marijuana, as well as cases that involve members of police departments. The accused, Peter Andrew Hodgeson, has...

Uber

...Public Policy Concerns with the Ride Sharing Industry in British Columbia Introduction The commercial ride sharing industry is presently headline news in the province of British Columbia, particularly in the city of Vancouver where the company, Uber, has been trying forcefully to tap into the city’s passenger transportation market. “Commercial ride sharing is an arrangement where for profit, taxi-like services are provided by private drivers, using technology like smartphone apps. GPS is used to connect drivers with people seeking transportation, and payment is made online” (TranBC, 2014). Uber is an App based company that networks passengers with drivers that transport them to their destination for a fee. UberX is Uber’s low cost option in which the company’s only requirements for drivers are to be over the age of 21, have a valid driver’s license, personal auto insurance, and a four door automobile which has had a vehicle inspection within the first 30 days of partnership with Uber (Elliott, J., 2014). The drivers also need to have a police background check done, and that’s it. These bare bone prerequisites have lead UberX to be scrutinized by the provincial and municipal governments, as well as the taxi industry. The scrutiny comes from Uber refusing to abide by the rules and regulations set out by the Passenger Transportation Board and the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC), as they say the Passenger Transportation Act is archaic, and does not...

Expository Essay on Multiculturalism

...Multiculturalism in Vancouver Being one of the most integrated cities in the world, Vancouver does not fail to attract those abroad into joining such a rich community. The city consists of such diverse groups that racial norms have become only a small part of identification in Vancouver. Multiculturalism in Vancouver is not just about different racial groups living together in one city, but about the ability to accept the entire population as a “whole,” under the same culture. The search for a median of intersecting lifestyles and behaviors gives Vancouver’s citizens countless opportunities in learning various customs and histories of multiple countries. Vancouver’s mission statements being “to make sure that all of our citizens – regardless of background – have complete access to civic services, and live free of prejudice and discrimination” allows all it’s citizens to feel safe and accepted into the community.

Cap Rate

...Q3 2014 | INVESTMENT Colliers International Canada Cap Rate Report New construction Across North America, High Tech firms are migrating to downtown, centrilized regions rather than suburban areas. Historically, technology firms across North America have tended to locate outside of the downtown core, particularly to more suburban regions. This stemmed from less expensive rental rates, lower taxes, large parcels of space, free parking and an industry that had an endless supply of workers more willing to commute. The 1990s saw the creation of technology regions, such as Silicon Valley (California), the Kanata North Business Park (Ontario) and Discovery Parks (British Columbia). As technology has changed, the space requirements and talent working within the industry have evolved. In more recent years, technology companies, particularly web design, program design and e-commerce firms that rely less on hardware and more on software, have begun to move from suburban office parks to established downtowns or up and coming urban neighbourhoods. Although this trend is at quite different stages in various cities across North America, there are a few patterns that are consistently present. Most importantly, a shift has occurred in which the majority of business is conducted through the web, so space needs now focus predominantly on employees and company branding. Many high-tech firms are striving for stimulating, accessible spaces which promote creativity, inspiration...
