How to cite in AMA 11th edition
Generate AMA 11th-edition references for medical writing. Add cited page ranges where your instructions require them.
Citation software formats the information supplied to it; it cannot confirm that every field is complete or that a source is suitable for your work. Compare the output with the original source and the current instructions you must follow.
Use the selected source and style together
This page selects the catalog’s AMA eleventh-edition CSL style. Medical writing commonly links numbered citations to a reference list; the full list and the manuscript need to agree on those numbers. The pinned book example shows how one source is formatted in isolation. It does not demonstrate every case involving several citations together, quoted passages or a journal’s additional submission requirements. Keep the reference sequence consistent with first citation in your manuscript and reuse the same number for a repeated source. The example’s isolated number does not establish its number in your document.
For the shared lookup and formatting walkthrough, see the citation generator guide. Keep this page’s edition and source-specific checks beside your output as you review it.
What to check
- Ordering references alphabetically instead of by first citation
- Dropping cited page numbers required for a direct quotation

1. Kahneman D. Thinking, Fast and Slow. Farrar, Straus and Giroux; 2011.
Plain-text output from the pinned CSL file for Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow (New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2011; ISBN 9780374275631). Italics and superscript styling are not shown here. Add quotation locators separately and check your edition.
Source fields for AMA 11
For a journal article, confirm the publication year, journal name, volume, issue and page range or article number. Keep the authors in publication order rather than alphabetizing the creators within a record. A book needs edition and publisher details. The date on an online landing page can describe a later update, so compare it with the publication rather than accepting any visible year.
Review AMA 11 in your manuscript
Check the target journal’s use of abbreviated journal names and cited page locators. Numbered references should remain tied to the source when it is cited again; adding another reference to the same paper should not create a second identity. Before submission, inspect the reference list alongside the manuscript rather than reviewing punctuation in isolated generated entries only.
Metadata and formatting
DOIs use Crossref, with DataCite when Crossref has no record; PMIDs use NCBI PubMed and ISBNs use Open Library. Public URLs use page metadata; YouTube oEmbed supplies title and channel, but no upload date. Pinned CSL styles format the records. No AI generates citation details, and PDFs are not uploaded or read here.
Frequently asked questions
Which AMA edition is selected?
The featured style is labeled AMA 11th edition. A journal’s author instructions can still add requirements.
How do I use the AMA 11 reference in my writing?
Keep the reference sequence consistent with first citation in your manuscript and reuse the same number for a repeated source. The example’s isolated number does not establish its number in your document. Compare the final manuscript and reference list after edits; a correct isolated entry cannot establish that it is attached to the intended claim.
Can I enter AMA 11 source details manually?
Yes. Select the actual source type and enter verified creators, title, date and publication details. For a book, check the edition and publisher; for an article, check the journal, volume and pages; for a website, use the specific page’s metadata. Manual entry changes the source record, not the rules of the selected style.
How should I enter a corporate author in AMA 11?
Enter an organization as a group author in braces, for example {World Health Organization}, so its words are not parsed as a person’s given name and surname. Keep individual authors in publication order. Numbered markers still require correct creators in the full reference. Do not replace a credited individual with the website owner.
What if my AMA 11 source has no publication date?
Leave an unknown date blank and let the pinned style handle missing information. Do not invent a year from a footer, file timestamp or the day you looked up the source. Check the publication before accepting a provider date, and keep access information separate. Review missing-date and title treatment against the exact edition or variant required for your document.
What does the AMA 11 example demonstrate?
Plain-text output from the pinned CSL file for Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow (New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2011; ISBN 9780374275631). Italics and superscript styling are not shown here. Add quotation locators separately and check your edition. The example is tied to the named source and pinned file; it does not demonstrate every source type or publisher override.
Is AMA 11 free, and can I export BibTeX or RIS?
The first 3 sources are free per browser, shared across citation pages. Copy the formatted reference or export your saved bibliography as BibTeX or RIS. These files retain structured records for compatible tools; a destination can apply a different style. Check imported fields and keep a downloaded copy, since browser storage can be cleared and opening AnswerThis does not transfer this bibliography.
