Citation Manual
AMA Manual of Style - Now in its 11th edition, the AMA Manual of Style has continued to evolve and expand. The manual has been thoroughly updated, including comprehensive guidance on reference citations (including how to cite journal articles, books, reports, websites, databases, social media, and more), an expanded chapter on data display (for the first time in full color), a completely up-to-date chapter on ethical and legal issues (covering everything from authorship and open access to corrections and intellectual property), and updated guidance on usage (from patient-first language and terms to avoid to preferred spelling and standards for sociodemographic descriptors).
*EBSCO provides AMA as a citation format for the resources found in its databases.
