Appendix 2: SAGE Vancouver reference style

General
1. Please ensure that publications are referenced in the order in which they appear in the text. 2. Journal titles should be abbreviated according to the standard in the Index Medicus. Please check for any inconsistencies within reference lists. 3. Do not separate initials with spaces or full points except for a last initial before the title. 4. Up to six authors may be listed. If more, then list the first six authors and represent the rest by et al. rather than write them out in full. If an author submits 3 followed by et al., this will be accepted. 5. Please see the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts for more examples. International Committee of
