Vancouver citation style

Vancouver citation style will be used. References will be ordered and numbered in their order of appearance in the text, with the corresponding indication as a superscript (no parentheses, spaces, separated by commas and hyphens in the case of more two consecutive). They will be copy-pasted as they appear in the cited source, which is: author(s), article title, name of the journal, year, period, volume, number, pages and DOI (when applicable). If the publication has up to 6 authors, they all have to be included and separated by commas. If there are more authors, after the sixth and after a comma, the rest of the authors will be indicated as: at al. (which means “and others”). If the authors are from the Anglosphere, they will be accounted by their last element; for example: Harrison S. Murray will be entered: Murray HS.

The journals must be cited with their title abbreviated in accordance with the catalogue by the National Library of Medicine (NLM). Go to Pubmed: (Journals in NCBI Databases) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog/journals, in order to find the abbreviation.
