An AMA in-text citation is simply a superscript number that directs the reader to the relevant entry in the AMA References section.
The superscript number should be placed so that it clearly indicates the information being cited. For example, you might place it after a reference to the author's name or after a citation. The number appears after, not before, any commas, periods, or quotation marks.
To cite more than one source at the same point, you can use dashes to include ranges (to cite two or more sources with consecutive numbering: 1-3) or a list of commas (to cite discontinuous sources: 1,4,8 ). In either case, there are no spaces between the numbers.
On the reference page at the end of your paper, you list references that contain complete information about each source you used. The references are numbered in the order in which they are first cited in the text. Each source is included only once on the reference page. If you need to cite a source repeatedly in the text, use the same numbering each time.

References usually include the author's last name and initials, the title of the source, information about the publisher or large publication containing the document, and the date of publication, with the exact format varying depending on the type of source, as shown below:
