Citing In-Text

The AMA Manual of Style requires that you cite each reference in your writing in numerical order as they appear by using superscript numbers.

An AMA in-text citation consists of the number of the relevant reference on your AMA reference page, written in superscript¹ at the point in the text where the source is used. It may also include the page number or range of the relevant material in the source (e.g., the part you quoted^2(p46)).

How to create AMA citations. To create in-text citations in the AMA style, you just need to include a number in superscript where the source is relevant. Often, a citation is shown with a quote or at the end of the sentence where the source has contributed.

The rule of thumb is to cite the very first sentence, make it clear you are still talking about the same work in your subsequent sentences (for example, "The study noted that..."), and then confirm you are still talking about the work by including another citation at the end (if this has continued for several sentences ...

The general convention is: “when in doubt, cite” (1). There is no such thing as “over-citing,” so cite the original source as much as possible. You must cite the source every time you incorporate research, words, ideas, data, or information that is not your own (2).

In general, if it's your words, your opinion, your photo, or your graph, of course, you don't need to cite it.

APA uses an Author/Date in-text citation system (Smith, 2017) whereas AMA uses a superscript numbering system.

The AMA Manual of Style requires that your reference list must be in numerical order to reflect the order of your in-text citations. This means your reference list is not alphabetical!

Does AMA use footnotes? ›

The AMA manual of style (4.1. 4.3) states that footnotes may be used to provide additional explanatory information about a table or figure however page footnotes should be avoided if information can be included in the text. Use bottom-of-the page footnotes sparingly. AMA style uses superscript numbers¹ for referencing.

The AMA format is widely used for citing sources in medical research. This information, created by the American Medical Association, is taken from AMA Manual of Style: A Guide for Authors and Editors (10th Edition).

In AMA citation format, an in-text citation consists of a superscript number in the text that points the reader to the relevant reference on your numbered AMA reference page. You can also mention the author's name in your sentence, but this is optional.

1. Professor last name first initial(s). Title of presentation. PowerPoint and Lecture presented at: Course Number(as it appears in Banner) Name of Class(fully written out); Month day, year; Poughkeepsie, NY.

In paragraphs that contain one overall instance of paraphrased information, “cite the source in the first sentence in which it is relevant and do not repeat the citation in subsequent sentences as long as the source remains clear and unchanged” (American Psychological Association, 2020, p. 254).

Where multiple consecutive sentences use information from the same single source, it is not necessary to provide a citation after each of the sentences. It is sufficient to place a citation at the end of the consecutive sentences, or a paragraph, to cover the citable information in the preceding text.

Yes, all references in a reference list need to be cited at least once in the text. If you wish to include other sources that were helpful but not cited, you need a bibliography, which can include references, as well as sources not referred to.

This depends on how you are citing them. If you are citing them in-text more than once, and you are referring to the same source each time, then you can simply reuse that same in-text reference with a single entry on your references page at the end.
