AMA Bibliography
A bibliography is a list of publications,
books, interviews, speeches, memoirs,
web sites, and other original sources a
person uses composing a paper. It’s
included at the end of work.
What is a Bibliography?
AMA Format
The American Medical Association
format (AMA) is used for citing
publications in medical research to
give a credit to another author’s
work which has been used to
inform or support the content
(ideas, arguments, research
findings, etc).
An annotated bibliography is accompanied by a comprehensive
evaluation of each source.
It includes:
 The original author’s qualification.
 The main goal of the work.
 Author’s main points about the
subject.
 Your evaluation whether this source is
helpful for your research.
 Its uniqueness comparing to other
works on the topic.
Why do you need a bibliography?
 To show the reader that you’ve
used relevant sources
 To list publications which give
helpful background information
to your research
 To give the reader an idea of what particular publication is about.
 To analyze the subject for future research.
AMA bibliography writing rules
 All references must be at the end of
a work in the section “Reference list”.
Each publication should be listed in
numerical order (Arabic numerals),
not in alphabetical.
In AMA format, numerals are put
outside commas and periods, and
inside semicolons and colons:
 The UN maintains international
order15.
 Based on the data we can make the
following conclusions12:
If you have multiple citations, put a comma
between the number of cited publications:
 The findings have the following issues12,13:
If cited works are closed, use a hyphen:
 As previously claimed,15-17,25
 In the reference list write the first name and initials without
punctuation. But when a publication is written by more than one
author, list all of them separating with commas.
Sample Reference
Author Last name, First name Initial. Title in
sentence case. Journal Title in Title Case. Year;
Issue#: PP-PP.
*Sentence case means when you capitalize only
the first letter like you do writing usual sentences.
* Title case – you capitalize each word in your
title.
Other useful tips on how to write ALA bibliography
 Keep an eye on each article,
handbook, encyclopedia or whatever
you use while reading and taking
notes. Write a draft by listing these
sources. Write down an author’s full
name, publication’s title, where, when
and by whom it was publicized.
 You can look through college or university databases. Some of them offer helpful
citation tools. With them, you have to make one click and a proper citation will
appear. Make sure you’re citing according to the required format.
 Be accurate
The reader should find a publication from your reference list easily and
immediately. So make sure you’ve written everything right
 Citing a paper in a scientific journal, ensure that you’ve included the
year, volume and issue numbers in your bibliography. Use an
annotation maker to make your life easier.
 If you cite the same author but his/her different publication, ensure
that you provide the name in the same format. Make your
bibliography writing concise!
 Page numbers are essential. Some books can be more than 500
pages long so it will be more convenient for the reader to know what
page he/she should open to read more. The reader will appreciate for
sure!
 Be consistent
Citing multiple works from the same conference, ensure they have the same
typesetting (identical conference name, etc). As an alternative, try bibliography
helper!
Be judicious
 When you’re using the Internet, be wise and meticulous. Things there are not
always true and correct. You can download here bibliographic references but
read it carefully. If you have a doubt, look at the paper version.
