Help:Citation Style Vancouver

Citation Style Vancouver (CSVAN) is a method of referencing Wikipedia articles using a series of templates based on the Vancouver system.

The use of CSVAN or of templates is not compulsory; per WP:CITEVAR:

"Citations within each Wikipedia article should follow a consistent style. Editors may choose any style they want. The English Wikipedia does not have a house style, so it need not match what is done in other articles."

Templates
CSVAN consists of the following set of templates:
 * vcite book for books
 * vcite conference for conference proceedings
 * vcite journal for articles in academic journals and similar periodicals
 * vcite news for articles in newspapers and similar news sources
 * vcite web for web pages, that is, sources published as part of web sites that are not books, journals, or news
