General Rules for Place of Publication (required) for Entire Books Vancouver Style

Place is defined as the city where the book was published.

Follow US and Canadian cities with the two-letter abbreviation for the state or province (see Appendix E) to avoid confusion when citing lesser known cities or when cities in different locations have the same name, such as Palm Springs (CA) and Palm Springs (FL).

Follow cities in other countries with the name of the country, either written out or as the two-letter ISO country code (see Appendix D), when citing lesser known cities or when cities in different locations have the same name, such as Cambridge (MA) and Cambridge (England).

Use the anglicized form for a non-US city, such as Vienna for Wien.

End place information with a colon.
