Bibliographical references

Vancouver format

Guidelines for referencing in Vancouver format can be found in the following reference  [1]

The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) of the document must be included; cite it at the end of each reference. The DOI should be cited in the following format: https://doi.org/#. If a reference does not have a DOI, include the PMID or PMCID or the full URL (http/https) in the list of references.Only cite works that have been published or accepted for publication. Oral presentations should only be cited if they appear in the event abstracts.

Do not include URLs within the manuscript. Create a reference for the web link and include it in the references.

Do not use footnotes to generate references. Use bibliographic resource management software tools (Mendeley, EndNote, Zotero) that facilitate the automatic generation of bibliographic references.

In the final document, which will be sent to the journal, remove the OLE elements generated by bibliographic reference management programmes such as Endnote, Mendeley or Zotero. Select the entire document (Ctrl+E or Command A), remove the field codes (Ctrl+Shift+F9 or Command+6). This procedure will facilitate the review of references during the editing process.

References in the body of the article should be cited in square brackets [] and not in parentheses (). Avoid using superscript citations.

The maximum number of bibliographic references will be: in research articles and narrative reviews, 50 references; case reports, 25; systematic reviews, no limit.

It is recommended to cite articles previously published in Archivos de Medicina when they are relevant to the topic of the manuscript.
