SvedbergOpen taken Vancouver style guide as major style guide to construct our Vancouver-Svedberg style for medical sciences journals. Some examples of how to cite sources within your paper are given below.

Vancouver style of reference uses in-text numbers at the point of citation.

• Citing single author: Recent research [1] indicates that the number of duplicate papers being published is increasing.
  Or
