AMA Citation Guide

These tools can help you to save, organize, and format references in AMA and many other styles.

According to the AMA Manual of Style, 10th edition (p. 40):

“References serve 3 primary purposes—documentation, acknowledgement, and directing the reader to additional resources. Authors may cite a reference to support their own arguments or lay the foundation for their theses (documentation); as a credit to the work of other authors (acknowledgment); or direct the reader to more detail or additional resources (directing or linking).”
