Rezumat	APA (American Psychological Association) Style is a citation and formatting standard widely used in psychology, education, social sciences, and increasingly in health sciences. APA uses author-date in-text citations (e.g., Smith, 2021) linked to a reference list at the end of the manuscript. The 7th edition (2020) is the current standard and requires DOI (Digital Object Identifier) for all works that have one. APA style covers not only citations but also manuscript formatting (margins, spacing, headings, figure captions), promoting consistency and clarity across scholarly communication.	Vancouver style is the standard citation format for biomedical and clinical research journals, established by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and detailed in their Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals. In Vancouver style, citations are numbered sequentially in the text (e.g., [1], [2], [3]) and linked to a numbered reference list at the end of the manuscript. The style emphasizes conciseness and is widely used in medicine, nursing, and life sciences. Unlike author-date systems (APA), Vancouver style de-emphasizes author names in the text, allowing more natural prose flow.
