System of citation
Vancouver system
• uses sequential numbers in the
text, either bracketed or
superscript or both. The
numbers refer to either
footnotes (notes at the end of
the page) or endnotes (notes on
a page at the end of the paper)
that provide source detail.
Parenthetical referencing
• also known as Harvard
referencing, has full or partial,
in-text, citations enclosed in
circular brackets and embedded
in the paragraph.

Vancouver system: example
"During the Covid-19 pandemic, with similarities
and differences it was emergency remote education
that was applied and it can be further argued that
emergency remote education is a branch of distance
education as in the case of online learning, e-
learning, m-learning, or homeschooling."1
The note, located either at the foot of the page (footnote) or at the end of the paper
(endnote) would look like this:

to CoronaVirus pandemic. Asian Journal of Distance Education, 15(1), i-vi.

Parenthetical referencing: Example

• Works cited
• Works consulted

of distance education as in the case of
online learning, e-learning, m-learning, or
homeschooling (Bozkurt & Sharma, 2020).
