The main objective of this study was to measure the level of acquaintance and usage of Vancouver style in codifying proposals among graduate students of Veterinary Medicine at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. Additionally, it aimed to measure their level of acquaintance and usage in different disciplines such as basic sciences, pathobiology, clinical sciences, health, and food.

This was an applied survey study, where data collection tools included a researcher-made questionnaire based on a literature review and the Kahn Proposal Assessment Checklist. The sample consisted of 265 postgraduate and PhD students from the Veterinary Medicine college who were selected using non-proportional stratified sampling.

There is a significant difference related to the compilation of the proposal of the Vancouver style book in the master's degree / general doctorate and specialized doctorate. There is a significant difference between graduate students' use of the elements related to the proposal development of the Vancouver Vancouver style in different academic disciplines (Basic Sciences, Pathobiology, Clinical Sciences, Food and Aquatic Health).
