Vancouver is a numerical style of referencing in which a superscript number in the text refers to a numerical reference list at the end. It is used within Computing and IT subjects at NPTC Group.
When you refer to another’s words or ideas in your work, you cite the source by inserting a number in your text. Then list the sources you have cited in numerical order in a references list at the end of your work.
Example from: Cardiff University Library Service (2008) Referencing in the Vancouver (Numeric) Style.
