สรุป	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.	Clear scientific writing enables readers to understand methodology, results, and implications without confusion. Clarity is not ornamental—it is essential to scientific integrity. Unclear writing obscures findings, enables misinterpretation, wastes readers' time, and reduces impact and citations. Scientific clarity requires active voice (when appropriate), conciseness (eliminating redundancy), precise word choice (correct terminology), logical organization, and transparent reasoning. These principles apply across disciplines and are supported by style guides (APA, Vancouver), writing textbooks, and journal editors' expectations. Clear writing also helps authors think more precisely; the act of writing clearly often reveals gaps or inconsistencies in logic.
