Specific rules #1 for Edition (required) for Journal Articles Vancouver Style: Abbreviation rules

An edition is considered a part of the title in journals.

Use the same rules for abbreviating the words in an edition statement as for the words in journal titles.

Abbreviate and capitalize all significant words and omit the other words, such as articles, conjunctions, and prepositions. For example: of, the, at, in, and L'. See Appendix A for a list of commonly abbreviated English words in journal titles. Other sources for title word abbreviations are:

List of Journals Indexed for MEDLINE.

PubMed Journals database.

Appendix B for non-NLM sources.

Omit any punctuation found.

Separate the edition from the title itself by a space and place it in parentheses.

Do not follow abbreviated words with a period, but end all the title information with a period placed outside the closing parenthesis. Examples:

American Homeopathy. Consumer Edition. becomes Am Homeopath (Consum Ed).

American Homeopathy. Professional Edition. becomes Am Homeopath (Prof Ed).

Hospital Practice. Office Edition. becomes Hosp Pract (Off Ed).

Hospital Practice. Hospital Edition. becomes Hosp Pract (Hosp Ed).
