AMA Citation Style incorporates the set of rules, recommended by the The American Medical Association Manual of Formatting Style, 9th ed.
 
The American Medical Association (founded in 1897, the largest association of medical doctors and medical students) in its Manual provides instructions and recommendations for authors and editors dealing with research works for review and publication.
 
Referencing in AMA Citation Style, you should keep in mind the following.
 
Authors:

• the names are to be inverted
• only initials for first and middle names should be used, with no space
• surnames should be followed by initials without periods
• surnames containing prefixes or particles should be spelled and capitalized according to the author’s preference
• in case there are more than 6 authors – the first 3 authors names are to be followed by “et al”; if there are 6 or less of them – all the names are included; if no author is given, you should start with the title

Books:

• the edition statement ( 5th ed. or Rev ed.) should be included between the title and place, in case it’s not the first edition

Journals:

Websites:

Articles:

• only the first letter of the first word and proper names are to be capitalized, as well as abbreviations that are always capitalized

References:
