AMA Style Quick Tips

AMA formatting emphasizes numbered references, NLM journal abbreviations, and consistent author initials. Use this generator as a starting point, then match your course or journal handout.

  • Number references in the order they first appear in the text
  • Use superscript numbers for in-text citations (or parentheses if your instructor prefers)
  • List authors as Last FM; use et al. after 6 authors when required
  • Abbreviate journal titles per NLM Catalog conventions
  • Include DOI when available for journal articles
  • Always double-check page ranges, volume, and issue numbers

Sample AMA pattern

Author AB, Author CD. Article title. Abbreviated Journal. Year;Volume(Issue):Pages. doi:10.1001/…
