International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. Annals of Internal Medicine 1997; 126:36-47
2. Summary of technical requirements Papers should be printed out on a A4 paper, on one side only, in double spacing, with a margin of at least 2.5 cm on four sides of page. Number pages consecutively, beginning with the title page. Put the page number in the upper or lower right-hand corner of each page. Articles鈥?length should not exceed 6.000 words, including tables and illustrations. Keep copies of everything submitted.

3.2 Abstracts and key words The second page should carry an abstract not exceeding 200 words in length to state the purposes of the study or investigation, basic procedures, main findings and the principal conclusions. Below the abstract authors should provide, and identify as such, 3 to 10 key words or short phrases that will assist indexers in cross-indexing the article. Terms from the medical subject headings (MeSH) list of Index Medicus should be used; if suitable MeSH terms are not yet available for recently introduced terms, present terms may be used. (URL: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/meshhome.html).
3.3 Introduction State the purpose of the article and summarize the rationale of the study or observation. Give only strict pertinent references and do not include data or conclusions from the work being reported.
3.4 Methods Provide detailed information about methods, techniques and procedures used for collecting and organizing data.
3.5 Results Present your results in logical sequence in the text, tables, and illustrations. Do not repeat in the text all data in the tables or illustrations; emphasize or summarize only important observations.
3.6 Discussion Emphasize the new and important aspects of the study and the conclusions that follow from them. Do not repeat in detail data or other material given in the Introduction or the Results section. Include in the Discussion section the implications of the findings and their limitations.
Link the conclusions with the goals of the study but avoid unqualified statements and conclusions not completely supported by the data. Recommendations, when appropriate, may be included.
3.7 Acknowledgements As an appendix to the text, one or more statements should specify (a) contributions that need acknowledging but do not justify authorship, such as general support by a departmental chair; (b) acknowledgements of technical help; (c) acknowledgements of financial and material support, and (d) relationships that may pose a conflict of interest.
3.8 References References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. If a reference is cited more than once, its original number is used again in subsequent citations. No reference should be assigned more than one number. If it is deemed necessary to call attention to a specific page within a reference, the page number may be added in roman type inside the parenthesis with the reference number. This practice is recommended when referencing direct quotations. The resolution urged the Member Governments to 鈥渕ake special voluntary contributions for the carrying out of catalytic research鈥?(17, p.240). Identify references in text, tables, and legends by Arabic numerals in parenthesis. References cited only in tables or legends to figures should be numbered in accordance with the sequence established by the first identification in the text of the particular table or figure. All references should be listed in numerical order at the end of the text. Avoid using abstracts as references. References to papers accepted but not yet published should be designated as 鈥渋n press鈥?or 鈥渇orthcoming鈥? authors should obtain written permission to cite such papers as well as verification that they have been accepted for publication.
The references must be verified by the author (s) against the original documents Use the style of the examples below, which are based on the formats used by the U.S National Library of Medicine (NLM) in Index Medicus. The titles of journals should be presented without abbreviations (consult: U.S. National Library of Medicine. List of journals indexed. Full title listing. Index Medicus 1998: 111-190.; URL: http://www.nlm.nih.gov). The 鈥淯niform Requirements鈥?style (the Vancouver Style) is based largely on an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard style adapted by the NLM for its data bases.
