About the American Medical Association (AMA) Citation Style

The American Medical Association (AMA) citation style is a variation of the Vancouver system that is often used in medical and scientific writing and publishing. It's also used by health professionals and when submitting papers to journals published by the AMA.

 

AMA Citation Style

Author Last name, First Initial/Middle Initial. Title in sentence case. Abbreviated Journal Title in Title Case. Year; volume(Issue#):PP-PP. doi: ##

 

Note: If you are citing an online article, you should include the day and month of publication as well in the format of Month Day, Year.

Use sentence case for all titles (capitalize only the first word of the title). Abbreviate and italicize names of journals according to the listing in the National Library of Medicine database.
