Specific Rules #5 for Date of Publication (required) for Journal Articles Vancouver Style: Options for dates

It is not NLM practice, but the following are acceptable options:

The month and day of the month or the season may be omitted if the journal is continuously paginated throughout the volume. However, the month and day of the month or the season must be included when citing a journal that has no volume or issue number.

Klose RJ, Kallin EM, Zhang Y. JmjC-domain-containing proteins and histone demethylation. Nat Rev Genet. 2006;7(9):715-27.

if also omitting the issue:

Klose RJ, Kallin EM, Zhang Y. JmjC-domain-containing proteins and histone demethylation. Nat Rev Genet. 2006;7:715-27.

The date of publication may follow the author names (or article title if there is no author) in the list of references when the name-year system of in-text references is used.

Use the year of publication only.

Enter the year after the last named author (or article title if there is no author).

Follow the year with a period.

Place the volume number immediately following the journal title.
