AMA 11th edition references and in-text citations from a DOI, ISBN, URL or title, with the rules explained. Export the list to Word.
Let’s cite!
Paste a DOI, ISBN, PubMed or arXiv ID, a web address, or just a title. Your list is saved in this browser, so you can close the tab and come back to it.
Formatted by citeproc-js © Frank Bennett, unmodified, under the CPAL — citeproc-js implements the Citation Style Language. Styles from the CSL project, CC BY-SA 3.0 (our copies).
Paste a DOI, an ISBN, a link or a title and the tool finds the publisher's own record for it and formats it in AMA 11th edition — the numbered system used in JAMA and its network, and many other American medical and health-science journals. The references entry and the in-text citation come together, and the rules are those of the AMA Manual of Style, 11th edition (Oxford University Press, 2020), published by the JAMA Network editors, published for the American Medical Association. The 11th edition was published in 2020 and replaced the 10th (2007).
The AMA Manual of Style website publishes updates between editions, and JAMA Network journals apply them.
Three steps, about twenty seconds a source.
A DOI, an ISBN, a PubMed or arXiv ID, a web address, or a title. AMA is already selected on this page. The tool works out what you pasted and asks the right catalogue — Crossref, OpenLibrary, PubMed, DataCite or Semantic Scholar — for the record.
Each source gets a card showing what the catalogue held and what the tool changed to fit AMA: a title converted to sentence case, a DOI reduced to its bare form, a page range tidied. Every change can be undone with one click if the record was right as it was.
Copy the list with its formatting into Word or Google Docs, or download a .docx with the numbering and spacing already set. BibTeX, RIS and CSL-JSON exports carry the same data into Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote or LaTeX.
The rules the tool applies, from the AMA Manual of Style, 11th edition (Oxford University Press, 2020).
Six real sources — two journal articles, a book, a chapter, a web page and a conference paper — formatted by the same engine that runs the generator above. Nothing here was typed by hand, so what you see is what you get.

The publishers' records hold 6 of these titles in title case; the tool converted them to sentence case, as AMA requires, and reported each change on its card, where one click keeps the original instead.
Five errors markers see most often, and what the tool does about each.
AMA uses a superscript number in the text. Brackets are Vancouver's and IEEE's.
The superscript goes after a comma or a period, and before a colon or semicolon.
AMA writes 1878-1881 in full, with a hyphen; Vancouver shortens it. Copying between the two is the usual slip.
The 11th edition removed it. A 10th-edition entry reads Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press; 2012.
AMA abbreviates journal titles as the NLM does and sets them in italics: JAMA, N Engl J Med.
If your handbook names one of these instead, its page opens the generator with that style selected.
Vancouver is the international medical standard the AMA style grew alongside: bracketed or superscript numbers, unitalicised journal names, shortened page ranges, [Internet] and [cited …]. Open the Vancouver page.
APA is what nursing and allied-health courses more often ask for: author–date in the text and an alphabetical list. Open the APA page.
Yes. Every style, every source type and every export is free, with no account and no daily allowance, because the formatting runs in your browser rather than on our servers. Your list is saved in this browser and never sent to us.
The 11th edition (2020). Its visible changes from the 10th are the dropped publisher's city and the DOI as doi:10.… rather than a link.
A superscript number in the order sources are first cited, placed after commas and periods but before colons and semicolons. The tool prints the in-text form under each reference; turn on the in-text switch above the list if it is hidden.
Paste the address and the tool reads the page's title, author, site name and date where the page declares them, then formats it. The AMA form of a web page with an organisation as author and no date is: 5. AI Writing Assistant. Free AI writing tools: What each does and when to use it. AI Writing Assistant. Accessed September 18, 2026. https://www.aiwritingassistant.net/tools.html Check the author and date on the card — pages often leave them out, and the style has a rule for each case.
Yes. Your sources are stored as data, not as formatted text, so choosing another style in the picker re-formats the whole list at once — APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver, or any of the 10,000 Citation Style Language styles the picker searches.
From the AMA Manual of Style, 11th edition (Oxford University Press, 2020), published by the JAMA Network editors, published for the American Medical Association, as encoded in the open Citation Style Language style the tool uses. The AMA Manual of Style website publishes updates between editions, and JAMA Network journals apply them. Where your department's own guide differs on a detail, the department's guide is the one your marker reads.
Check the essay's grammar, tighten the wording, or summarise a source before you cite it. One plan covers every tool.
Each page opens the generator with that style already selected, shows what the tool prints for six real sources, and explains the style's rules. The picker above the list reaches more than 10,000 styles in all.
