What is a Bibliography?
- A bibliography is a list of publications, books,
interviews, speeches, memoirs, web sites, and
other original sources a person uses composing a
paper. Its included at the end of work.

AMA Format
- The American Medical Association format (AMA) is
used for citing publications in medical research
to give a credit to another authors work which
has been used to inform or support the content
(ideas, arguments, research findings, etc).

comprehensive evaluation of each source.
- It includes
- The original authors qualification.
- The main goal of the work.
- Authors main points about the subject.
- Your evaluation whether this source is helpful
for your research. - Its uniqueness comparing to other works on the
topic.

AMA bibliography writing rules
- All references must be at the end of a work in
the section Reference list. Each publication
should be listed in numerical order (Arabic
numerals), not in alphabetical.

and periods, and inside semicolons and colons - The UN maintains international order15.

conclusions12

- As previously claimed,15-17,25
10
- In the reference list write the first name and
initials without punctuation. But when a
publication is written by more than one author,
list all of them separating with commas.

Sample Reference
- Author Last name, First name Initial. Title in
sentence case. Journal Title in Title Case. Year
Issue PP-PP. - Sentence case means when you capitalize only the
first letter like you do writing usual sentences. - Title case you capitalize each word in your
title.

Other useful tips on how to write ALA bibliography
- Keep an eye on each article, handbook,
encyclopedia or whatever you use while reading
and taking notes. Write a draft by listing these
sources. Write down an authors full name,
publications title, where, when and by whom it
was publicized.
13
- You can look through college or university
databases. Some of them offer helpful citation
tools. With them, you have to make one click and
a proper citation will appear. Make sure youre
citing according to the required format.
14
- Be accurate
- The reader should find a publication from your
reference list easily and immediately. So make
sure youve written everything right
15
- Citing a paper in a scientific journal, ensure
that youve included the year, volume and issue
numbers in your bibliography. Use an annotation
maker to make your life easier.
16
- If you cite the same author but his/her different
publication, ensure that you provide the name in
the same format. Make your bibliography writing
concise!
17
- Page numbers are essential. Some books can be
more than 500 pages long so it will be more
convenient for the reader to know what page
he/she should open to read more. The reader will
appreciate for sure!

- Be consistent
- Citing multiple works from the same conference,
ensure they have the same typesetting (identical
conference name, etc). As an alternative, try
bibliography helper!

meticulous. Things there are not always true and
correct. You can download here bibliographic

doubt, look at the paper version. - More useful information you can find in this
