Citation Styles

AMA Citation Style is mainly used in the field of medical research.

It lists references numerically in the order they are cited in the paper.

• Each reference is given it's own numeral, even if you've cited it once before.

In text citations are numerals (1, 2, 3...) in superscript following the reference.
