Citing Sources
For papers in dental hygiene, please use the NLM Citing Medicine style guide. This style is often also referred to as Vancouver Style, the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, the reference style of the ICMJE, or more recently, Citing Medicine: The NLM Style Guide for Authors, Editors, and Publishers.
- NLM PubMed Journal AbbreviationsJournal titles are abbreviated in Vancouver Style. Enter the full name of a journal here to find the abbreviated form.

Citing Sources in a Presentation
PowerPoint - Typically you don't need to cite images, backgrounds, etc. that are offered as part of the program that you are using. Eg. images available in PowerPoint
Where to cite in a presentation - You do need to cite all other works that you use so where do you put the citation?
There are two options for where to place your references. The best option is usually to include a short or full citation on the slide where you reference the work. You can then provide a fuller citation at the end of the presentation if needed. An alternative is to cite all references at the end of your presentation on a 'References' slide, but this is less useful for your audience as they often wish to see your sources during the presentation.
