General Rules for Content Type (optional) for Entire Books Vancouver Style

A content type alerts the user that the reference is not to a standard book but to a dissertation, master's thesis, or bibliography.

Place [dissertation], [master's thesis], or [bibliography] after the book title.

Follow the bracketed content type with a period unless the book is in a non-print medium (see Type of Medium below).

See Chapter 5 Dissertations and Theses and Chapter 6 Bibliographies for more detail.
