Generate accurate American Medical Association style citations quickly and automatically, with MyBib!
What is an AMA Citation Generator?
An AMA citation generator is a tool that creates citations in the American Medical Association citation style. It analyzes the details of an article or academic paper–such as author, title, and publish date–and creates a formatted citation with them automatically. The formatted citation can then be used to give credit to others whose work has been referenced in an academic work or paper.

If you are writing to be published in an AMA journal, or if you are a student in a health or medical field, then you will likely need to use AMA style citations.
Why should I use a Citation Generator?
Every academic field, not just medical, will recommend using a tool to record references to others’ work in your writing. A citation generator like MyBib can record this data, and can also automatically create an accurate reference list from it, with the necessary in-text citations too.
