Referencing style - Vancouver (based on Citing Medicine): Tables/figures/images

A guide to using the Vancouver citation style for in text citations and reference lists.

Tables/figures/images

You must reference any tables, figures, or images that you refer to, copy or adapt into your work that have been obtained from another source.

The reference should appear in your reference list and have a number assigned to it as for any other reference. Your reference will begin with the standard reference to the source of the table/figure/image - e.g. if you obtained it from a website you need to reference that website - with information specifically pertaining to the image placed at the end of the reference. See examples below for more information.

For advice on how to label and format the acknowledgment of any tables/figure/image copied or adapted into your work see Chapter 4 of the AMA Manual of style.
