Library Guides: Vancouver (AMA) referencing style: Reports

Referencing reports

It can be difficult to tell whether any given document should be considered a 'report'. Use this format for documents which are more formal in nature and which aim to summarise information on a particular issue, event or problem. If the document doesn't seem to fit those criteria, use Other items on the Web. The two formats are very similar so there will be very little difference (if any) between the reference produced.
