Abstract: 

Referencing is a standardized way of acknowledging the sources of information & ideas used in assignments/research work which allows the sources to be identified. Accurate and adequate referencing will help in avoiding accusations of plagiarism. Referencing also enables the reader to find the sources of research work and helps them in understanding the cited author’s work. This paper covers the essentials of referencing and elaborates the Vancouver system, also known as the author–number system, which is a citation style that uses numbers within the text that refer to numbered entries in the reference list.
