B(2). Sample Citation and Introduction to Citing Individual Volumes With a Separate Title and Separate Authors/Editors Vancouver Style

The general format for a reference to a volume with a separate title and separate authors/editors:

If each volume of a book in a multivolume set has its own author(s) or its own editor(s) distinct from the authors/editors of the set of volumes, the individual volume may be cited. Begin the reference with the authors or editors and title of the individual volume; cite the overall set of volumes as a series.

For example, each volume in the following publication has its own editors, who are not the editors of the publication as a whole:

Bellack AS, Hersen M, editors. Comprehensive clinical psychology. Amsterdam (Netherlands): Elsevier Science; 1998. 11 vols.

To cite one volume only of this multivolume set:

Ollendick T, editor. Children & adolescents: clinical formulation and treatment. Amsterdam (Netherlands): Elsevier Science; 1998. 723 p. (Bellack AS, Hersen M, editors. Comprehensive clinical psychology; vol. 5).

Multivolume sets are bound alike with an essentially identical appearance and have one publisher. The volumes in them are considered primarily as a part of the set and often, but not always, have the same date of publication or are published over a short span of years. This is in contrast to large open series such as Methods in Enzymology and Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences which have published hundreds of volumes over decades. Such large series may be cited as journals, as NLM does in PubMed, but individual volumes may also be cited as part of the series.

Each volume in a multivolume set may have two title pages, one for the set and one for the individual volume. Use these title pages or their verso (back) for authoritative information to use in a citation.

Specific Rules #2 for Location (Pagination) of Volume (optional) for Individual Volumes With a Separate Title but Without Separate Authors/Editors Vancouver Style: Volumes continuously paginated

Many books published in multiple volumes with separate titles are paginated anew with each volume. Some books, however, continue the pagination from one volume to another.

When citing a volume in a book with pagination continued from one volume to another, give the beginning and ending pages of the volume.

Precede the page numbers with "p." and separate them by a hyphen.

Do not repeat page numbers. For example: p. 1018-1904 becomes p. 1018-904.

Example: Goldstein RE, Haywood VA, editors. Esthetics in dentistry. 2nd ed. Vol. 2, Esthetic problems of individual teeth, missing teeth, malocclusion, special populations. Hamilton (ON): BC Decker Inc; 2002. p. 471-884.

B(1). Sample Citation and Introduction to Citing Individual Volumes With a Separate Title but Without Separate Authors/Editors Vancouver Style

The general format for a reference to a volume of a book with a separate title but without separate authors/editors, including pagination:

Many medical texts are published in more than one volume because the number of pages is too large to be contained in one physical volume. If a book is published in multiple volumes, and if each volume has a separate title, the volumes may be cited individually:

• Use the title page and the verso (back) of the title page of the individual volume as the source for authoritative information.

• Place volume information immediately following the overall title for the book and any edition information or secondary author.

• Give the pagination for the individual volume following the date of publication.
