In AMA style, citations are numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. These numbers are then used for both in-text citations and the reference list. For example, a journal article citation includes:
Author(s). Title of article. Abbreviated Journal Title. Year;Volume(Issue):Page numbers.
Example:
Smith J, Doe R. Nursing care and patient outcomes. J Nurs Educ. 2021;50(4):123-129.
