AMA Citation Guide

Learn how to cite in AMA style: in-text superscripts, reference lists, formatting rules, and examples.

AMA style pairs a superscript number in the text with a numbered entry in a reference list at the end. The number tells the reader which source you used; the entry tells them how to find it. The sections below cover both halves and the formatting rules that trip people up. See the full guide on the homepage, or generate a reference below.
