Dr. Grant's courses (NUTR2211, NUTR3325/GAHN6325, NUTR4408/GAHN6408, NUTR4409/GAHN6409, GAHN6602) use the Vancouver citation style.
This is an endnote citation very similar to the Uniform Requirements and the style used by the Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research. Both these style follows the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) recommendations for citation.
The Vancouver style requires that you cite your references numerically in the text, numbered in parentheses in order of citation. The full references are listed at the end of the paper as endnotes. See the sample page below.
All typed assignments for Dr. Shannan Grant must follow the following formatting requirements:
While the Vancouver style does not require that you reference authors by name in the body of your paper, occasionally you may wish to do so to stress significance or for clarity. If doing so please use the following format:
At the end of the sentence insert an endnote number. For example:
Examples provided from Dr. Grant's published work:
Excerpt 1: Glycaemic-index (GI) first appeared in the literature in the early 1980s as a means by which to categorize carbohydrate according to glycaemic effect postprandially (1,2). Carbohydrate containing foods can be categorized according to the following GI classes: low-GI (<55); medium GI (55 to 69) and high GI (≥70) (3). The GI is based upon a glucose (reference) scale where glucose has a GI of 100 (using standardized methodology). For instance, the high GI cut point can be expressed as 70/100 (4). Postprandially, starchy foods included in the low-GI category are absorbed more slowly across the intestine than medium or high GI foods. Slow postprandial intestinal absorption of starchy low-GI food results in a gradual increase in blood glucose (BG) and lower peak BG when compared to the prominent peak in BG observed after consuming a high GI food (2,4,5).…
Excerpt 2: …Although these data were published after the publication of the following statement of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) (2005): “…use of GI can provide additional benefit over that observed when total carbohydrate is considered alone”, American health agencies traditionally were in opposition to GI utility (21,37,38). This traditional position most likely affected the sample’s (American RDs’) perception of GI application. Conversely, Frost et al. (1994) showed that people can successfully and significantly lower diet-GI after verbal and written communication (26). Similar success has been noted by others (28,39).
