Frequently Asked Questions
How do I cite a podcast in Vancouver style?
Format: #. Host Surname Initials. Episode title. Podcast Name [Internet]. Year Mon Day [cited Year Mon Day]. Podcast: duration. Available from: URL Example: 1. Raz G. The Airbnb story. How I Built This [Internet]. 2024 Jan 15 [cited 2024 Feb 10]. Podcast: 45 min. Available from: https://www.npr.org/example
What number format does Vancouver use for podcast citations?
Vancouver uses sequential numbering in the order sources are first cited in the text. In-text citations appear as numbers in square brackets: [1], [2], [3]. Each podcast gets a unique number the first time it is cited, and that same number is used for all subsequent citations of the same source.
Do I need a "cited" date for podcast citations in Vancouver?
Yes. Because podcasts are online sources, Vancouver requires a cited date in square brackets showing when you accessed the content. Format: [cited Year Mon Day]. Example: [cited 2024 Jan 15]. This is required by ICMJE guidelines for all Internet-based sources.
How do I format host names in Vancouver podcast citations?
In Vancouver style, write the surname first followed by initials without periods or spaces between initials. Examples: "Gross T" (not "Gross, T." or "T. Gross"), "Harris S" for Sam Harris. For multiple hosts, separate with commas: "Harris S, Murray D."
How do I cite an entire podcast series in Vancouver?
For a full podcast series rather than a single episode, omit the episode title and duration. Format: #. Host Surname Initials. Podcast Name [Internet]. Publisher; Year– [cited Year Mon Day].
