DD7HW1 Citation Style

I will be using AMA style for Project #2.  AMA style is the American Medical Association style, which is used by many scientific journals, and primarily used for medical and public health journals. My topic for Project #2 is a public health topic- Nutrition Education/Visuals/Ethics.


1. The AMA Manual of Style is a guide that includes the following sections:

  • Preparing An Article for Publication
  • Style
  • Terminology
  • Measurement and Quantitation
  • Technical Information
The manual itself must be purchased, but this website does include links with some descriptive information that is useful, such as Visual Presentation of Data. 


2. This Biomedical Editor website includes samples of references, with 1 author, 2-6 authors and 6+ authors.  It also includes examples of citations, and how they should look in an article.

3. This University of the Sciences website is useful because it includes specific examples of how to cite an online journal article with six or fewer authors and an online journal article with more than six authors.
