In Vancouver style, citations are numbered sequentially in the order they appear in the text. Numbers are placed in parentheses or as superscripts.
Example:
Chronic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes, are leading causes of mortality worldwide (1). Evidence suggests that lifestyle interventions can significantly reduce the burden of these diseases (2,3).
Reference list example:
At the end of the document, a numbered list of references is included, corresponding to the numbers used in the text. Medical journals often abbreviate journal names based on PubMed standards.
