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
