What are numbered referencing styles?
Numbered referencing styles use superscript numbers or numbers in brackets. Sources are assigned a number based on the order they appear in the text.

A popular numbered referencing style is AMA style (Vancouver). In AMA style, a numbered in-text reference looks like this:

A reference list at the end of the paper would include the full details of the source, after the number 1.
Another numbered referencing style is IEEE, which is primarily used for engineering and information technology.
Each numbered referencing style is a bit different. Once you have selected your preferred reference style on Re:cite, we recommend checking the About section. This will help you to understand the requirements of the style.
