Reference Style
The American Medical Association (AMA) provides guidance for a citation style called AMA citation format.
AMA is a common citation style in the field of medicine. It’s required when you’re submitting to a journal published by the American Medical Association.
AMA citation format includes:
- Numerical in-text citations, written in superscript
- A numbered reference list giving full source information
| AMA in-text citation | As indicated by Walter et al,1 effecting policy change is a crucial goal of public health campaigns. |
