Specific Rules #4 for Date of Publication (required) for the Volume for Individual Volumes With a Separate Title and Separate Authors/Editors Vancouver Style: Date of publication and date of copyright

Some publications have both a date of publication and a date of copyright. A copyright date is identified by the symbol ©, the letter “c”, or the word copyright preceding the date.

Use only the date of publication unless three or more years separate the two dates.

In this situation, use both dates, beginning with the year of publication.

Precede the date of copyright by the letter “c”.

Separate the dates by a comma and a space. For example, “2002, c1997”.

This convention alerts a user that the information in the publication is older than the date of publication implies.
