Reference Style Guidelines

BM-Publisher journals  follow the style adopted by the American Medical Association (AMA), [Iverson C, Christiansen S, Flanagin A, et al. AMA Manual of Style: A Guide for Authors and Editors. 10th ed. New York, NY: Oxford University Press; 2007] which, in turn, is based on the style developed by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors in 1978 in Vancouver.

 All references must be numbered consecutively and citations of references in text should be identified using Arabic numbers in square brackets before the punctuation mark. (e.g., “as study by Jonh [4]” and the authors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of their references. The citations in the reference list should include all named authors, up to the first 8 before adding ‘et al.’ The reference number should follow the following format:
