• Vancouver citation style: In this regard, it is important that the authors are careful in the inclusion of each source and that the correspondence between what is called in the body of the text and what appears in the final list is perfect. As the Vancouver style demands that the sources be numbered according to their order of appearance in the text, care must be taken to ensure that the numbering does not omit or repeat references.
  As for the citation structure of each bibliographic entry, the Vancouver style in Spanish can be consulted in the following manual (chapter 5, from page 79):

  In English, it can be consulted in this link of the National Library of Medicine:

• Inclusion of Digital Object Identifiers (DOI). The authors have verified that all the references in their manuscript are correctly cited and that for those that have a DOI, it has been included, by using the following Crossref tool:
  As far as references are concerned, it is essential that each entry, in the final listing, has its DOI (digital object identifier). Crossref has a system that locates the DOI of the references that have it and it is very easy to use here:
  Simple Text Query: https://apps.crossref.org/SimpleTextQuery
  There, you enter the complete block of references in the field and hit submit; after a few seconds, the system returns all the DOIs of the references that have it.
