AMA Style (11th ed): Citing Your Sources

Reference List
References Within Your Paper
Manuscript styling
Videos and tutorials

Basic rules for all AMA citations

Anonymous works:

If there is no named author, follow the citation style for the item, and omit the author name field. If the item is really authored by a person going by the name Anonymous, use the word "Anonymous" as if it were a complete name of the author, and then use the appropriate style.

Author names in all references:

For materials with 1-6 authors or editors, list all author or editor names.

For materials with 7 or more authors or editors, list the first three, then abbreviate with et al.

Capitalization of titles in reference list:

For journal article titles and book chapters: capitalize the first letter of the first word, proper names, names of trials or study groups, and abbreviations. For titles of books and government documents, capitalize the first letter of each major word, but not articles, prepositions of less than 3 letters, conjunctions, or infinitives.

(note: No guidance is provided regarding capitalization for titles of conference materials, titles of journals, or other titles used in AMA citations.)

Titles of journals :

Use PubMed journal abbreviations. You can find these by using the citing tool within PubMed, or search the NLM Catalog for journal titles to locate the preferred abbreviation. If no abbreviation is found in PubMed or the NLM Catalog, consult section 13.10 of the AMA Manual of Style for standard abbreviations for individual words used in a title.

Non-scholarly or non-peer-reviewed materials appearing in journals (editorials, letters to the editor, comments, interviews, etc.):

Unlike prior editions of AMA style, the 11th edition has removed the suggestion to indicate special types of materials within journals. Cite all materials published in journals using the article style.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.):

"Nonhuman artificial intelligence, language models, machine learning, or similar technologies cannot be listed as authors because these technologies do not qualify for authorship." (quotation from AMA Manual, section 5.1.12). According to a strict reading of the Manual, AI programs should never appear in a reference list as an author or creator of content. Instead, AMA suggest that writers place an acknowledgement into the acknowledgement section of the manuscript or describe how AI was used in the Methods section of the manuscript. The primary goal of the AMA Manual of Style is to share the official JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) guidance for formatting manuscripts for JAMA, so this is helpful in this context. However, it is difficult to put into place in coursework, where assignments typically do not include either an acknowledgements or Methods section. When writing for a class, review the syllabus or speak with the faculty member to determine if you are allowed to use AI tools, then use the guidance on this page to appropriately describe use of AI in your written assignments.

How to cite information when there is no guidance on this website:

This website attempts to summarize over 500 pages of content from the AMA Manual and cannot cover all. Read the AMA Manual of Style, section 3, to find guidance for citing many other types of publications. If there is no guidance in the Manual on your specific type of publication-- which there may be, the Manual does not include everything-- adapt an existing AMA citation style.

General format: Author AA, Author BB, Author CC. Title of article. Abbreviated Title of Journal. Year of publication;volume(issue):complete page numbers or e-locator. DOI (if not provided, omit and replace with an accessed date and a URL)

Note that there is no period at the end of the DOI or URL in online journal article citations.

Print journal article:

Artificial Intelligence (A.I.)

"Nonhuman artificial intelligence, language models, machine learning, or similar technologies cannot be listed as authors because these technologies do not qualify for authorship." (quotation from AMA Manual, section 5.1.12). No AI programs should ever appear in the numbered reference list. AMA suggests that writers place an acknowledgement into the acknowledgement section of the manuscript or describe how AI was used in the Methods section of the manuscript. This advice is difficult to put into place in coursework, where assignments typically do not include either an acknowledgements or Methods section. When writing for a class, review the syllabus or speak with the faculty member to determine if you are allowed to use AI tools, then use this guide to get ideas for how to acknowledge the source.

"Section 5.2.1.1 Acknowledgment of Use of Artificial Intelligence and Language Models in Writing and Editing

Authors should report the use of artificial intelligence, language models, machine learning, or similar technologies to create content or assist with writing or editing of manuscripts in the Acknowledgment section or the Methods section if this is part of formal research design or methods. This should include a description of the content that was created or edited and the name of the language model or tool, version and extension numbers, and manufacturer. (Note: this does not include basic tools for checking grammar, spelling, references, etc.)."

Strict interpretation of this for publication in a journal:

In 1-5 sentences, describe what you used AI to do in the manuscript, with enough information to explain the actual model used. Place this in the Methods section if the AI content was important to the methods. Otherwise, place in the Acknowledgements section. The AMA Manual does not provide any examples. Here are two examples created by a USC librarian that attempt to fulfill the AMA rules:

"On August 3, 2023, I used AI to summarize five research papers, to help me determine which idea was least studied and focus my topics for this essay. I used ChatGPT, model 3.5, made by OpenAI, hosted at https://chat.openai.com/."

"I used Bard, release 2023.07.13, made by Google and hosted at https://bard.google.com/, to edit my manuscript. I uploaded my original writing and asked Bard to reduce the word count and make the language more formal. I also used Bard to determine which of the data points I had collected would be the most useful for including as figures, and used its advice to create figure 1 and table 2."

Potential ways to acknowledge use of AI tools in a written document for a course:

There is no guidance on this from the AMA Manual. As typical with this style, when no guidance exists, try to follow the basic rules of the style while respecting the underlying goal of any citation system: to acknowledge the use of other's ideas, thoughts, and opinions. While AI might not be a person, it’s still not you, so its ideas and work needs to be acknowledged. Based on this, here are some options that might work:

- While your assignment may not require you to include a formal Methods section, you could decide to include one anyway. You could describe all the methods used to create this assignment: searching for literature, using modeling software, collaboratively editing with a colleague, etc., alongside how you used AI, and which model you used.

- Add a few sentences about your use of AI and the model (as recommended by AMA) into another section of the assignment. If you used AI to generate ideas, perhaps this acknowledge would fit into the introduction. If you used AI to edit the paper, this might be acknowledged in the conclusion.

- AMA style requires a numbered reference list. You could add an unnumbered bullet point to the start or end of your reference list that acknowledges the use(s) of AI in your assignment and provides the model number as instructed by AMA.

Books and chapters

General format: Author AA, Author BB, Author CC. Title of book . Edition number (if beyond first). Publisher name; year of publication. To indicate online access, add the word Accessed and the date you accessed the item, then the URL.

While some books and book chapters may have assigned DOIs, book citations do not include DOIs, only URLs and accessed dates. If a book has editors instead of or in addition to authors, their names are indicated with "eds." after the author field names.

Conference presentations

If materials presented at a conference are published elsewhere as a book, issue of a journal, or other medium, AMA instructs you to cite them using that reference style. Only use this style for materials not formally published as part of another publication.

General format: Author AA, Author BB, Author CC. Title of poster. Poster presented at: Name of conference; Month, Day Year; City, State abbreviation.

Pasternak B. Carvedilol vs metoprolol succinate and risk of mortality in patients with heart failure: national cohort study. Paper presented at: European Society of Cardiology Congress; August 31, 2014; Barcelona, Spain. Morales M, Zhou X. Health practices of immigrant women: indigenous knowledge in an urban environment. Paper presented at: 78th Association for Information Science and Technology Annual Meeting; November 6-10, 2015; St Louis, MO. Accessed March 15, 2016. https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/2857070.2857108

If the conference is held outside the US, replace "City, State" with City, Country.
The manual instructs you to use this to cite any type of presentation occurring at a conference, using any special name the conference chose to use. To cite a poster, a presentation, a keynote address, a panel, a lecture, etc., replace the word 'paper' in the phrase "Paper presented at."
Add the Accessed date and the DOI (preferred) or the accessed date and URL (if DOI not available) for materials you viewed online.

Government or agency reports

3.13.2 Special Materials: Government or Agency Reports provides this format for citing reports issued by a department or agency of a government.

(1) name of author (if given); (2) title of bulletin in italics; (3) name of issuing bureau, agency, department, or other governmental division; (4) date of publication; (5) page numbers (if specified); (6) publication number (if any); (7) series number (if given); (8) online accessed date (if applicable); and (9) web address (if applicable).

3.15.5 Electronic References:Government/Organization Reports provides this guidance for citing Government/Organization reports: "These reports are treated much like electronic journal and book references: use journal style for articles and book style for monographs."

There is no guidance provided in the Manual for how to differentiate between "reports issued by a department or agency of a government" or a "government/organization report," and so there is no way to determine which of these is "more correct." Be consistent in your choices for citation in your document and within content: if you cite two articles from MMWR, use the same style for each.
While some online-issued government reports include DOIs, AMA style requires the accessed date and URL.
The example in the Manual for Government or Agency Reports includes semicolons between each field; the worked examples in the Manual show semicolons, colons, periods, and commas between fields, and there is no explanation for how or why to use each diacritical mark.. In creating examples, the diacritical marks used in the Manual were used as guides.

MMRW is a journal that publishes reports from the US CDC. Based on the rules of AMA Style, you could choose to cite reports from MMWR as a Government Report or a Journal Article. Here is the same report in both styles:

Selik RM, Mokotoff ED, Branson B, Owen SM, Whitmore S, Hall HI. Revised Surveillance Case Definition for HIV Infection- United States, 2014 . Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 2014;1-11: Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. Accessed January 5, 2019. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/pdf/rr/rr6303.pdf

The Government Accountability Office is a federal office charged with assessing the function of federal government. They publish reports in the form of monographs. Based on the rules of AMA Style, you could choose to cite reports from this office as a Government Report or Monograph style:

Covid-19:Federal Efforts Could be Strengthened by Timely and Concerted Actions . United States Government Accountability Office. September 21, 2020. GAO-20-701. Accessed January 5, 2021. https://www.gao.gov/assets/710/709934.pdf

In citing data from a website, include the following elements, if available, in the order shown:

■ Authors’ surnames and initials, if given, or name of the group who made the site

■ Title of the specific item cited. If none is given, use the name of the organization responsible for the site.

■ Name of the website

■ [Date published]

■ Updated [date]

■ Accessed [date]

■ URL (verify that the link still works as close as possible to publication)

There is no guidance in the Manual on how to separate elements (using periods, commas, semicolons, etc.); the example above is directly copied from the Manual. The examples below use the diacritical marks as shown in one example in the Manual, separating each field with a period.

Warfarin. Drug Information Online: Drugs.com. September 1, 2012. Updated January 23, 2020. Accessed April 15, 2020. https://www.drugs.com/cons/warfarin.html

DrugBank Online. Acetaminophen. DrugBank Online. June 13, 2005. Updated January 5, 2021. Accessed January 5, 2021. https://go.drugbank.com/drugs/DB00316

Additional citation types

Package insert s and prescribing information

Name of drug. Type of material. Company Name; year of publication. To indicate online access, add the accessed date and URL.

Drug Monographs . AMA style does not provide rules for citing drug monographs. These are suggested by the Norris Library and were created by adapting the book and website styles, as these contain similar pieces of information.

Print drug monographs

Author AA. Title of monograph being cited . Editor AA, ed. Title of book . Edition (if beyond first). Publisher name; year of publication.

Online drug monographs

Title of monograph. Title of book of monographs . Title of compendia where book is found (only include if different than book title). Pub lished date. Updated date. Accessed date. URL

Abram AZ, Fuchsuber L, inventors; Stiefel Research Australia, assignee. Foamable suspension gel. US Patent 8,158,109. April 17, 2012.

Note: this example is for a patent that was granted by the US Patent Office. To cite a patent issued by a different patent office, use this same style but replace the words "US Patent" with the issuing body: WIPO Patent. You may instead need to cite a patent application. Use the same style, but replace the words "US Patent" with "US Patent Application."

Personal communications:

AMA Style states that personal communications such as phone calls, emails, conversations, etc. are not included in the reference list. However, you should cite these materials parenthetically within the text. Provide the name and highest academic degree of the author, type of communication, and date sent. If this would compromise patient anonymity, replace the name with a title and remove the day of communication.

Individuals on this new experimental drug should not take aspirin. (Sara P. Norris, M.D., email communication, November 3, 2012.)

For all five patients I have seen with this rare disorder, I have prescribed Interferon. (Physician at LAC + USC Healthcare Network, phone call, October 2012).

Common questions about AMA

What is a DOI?:

A DOI is a Digital Object Identifier. It is a series of letters and numbers that identifies a specific online item. Depending on the publisher, DOIs may be registered through international clearinghouses and function as web links or may not. AMA style allows you to choose to display DOIs in references in two ways, with or without the https://. doi:10.1001/jama.2017.13737 and https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2017.13737 are both acceptable, and used interchangeably throughout the Manual when a DOI is included in a reference. When you discuss a DOI in writing, capital letters are used to denote that this is an abbreviation. When using a DOI in a citation, AMA Style requires all lowercase: doi.

Including words/phrases like "Paper presented at", "Date Accessed," "Date Updated," etc. in the citations: AMA Style sometimes requires the use of these "helper phrases" in the reference; in other cases, they are used in examples to show you where to place the information and will be deleted in your final completed citation. AMA Style is not particularly consistent nor logical in its choices to include or exclude "helper phrases" in citations. Examine both the example citation format and the worked examples citing a specific item to determine what to include.

Use Online or Print style?

AMA Style requires you to cite the version of an item you read. An article might be available online and in a print journal. If you read the online copy, cite it using the online citation format. If you read the print item, use the print format.

The URL is incredibly long-- do I need to include the whole thing? AMA Style's main preference is for you to include the entire and functional URL. However, if a URL is very long and breaks across lines, you may remove portions of the lengthy URL as long as the reader would reasonably be able to access the item from the short URL and information from the citation itself.

Here is an example of when and how to edit URLs:

is a citation to a drug monograph appearing in the book AHFS DI (Adult and Pediatric) available on the online database Lexicomp. The URL provided by Lexicomp for this monograph is actually much longer (it is https://online-lexi-com.libproxy1.usc.edu/lco/action/doc/retrieve/docid/complete_ashp/414040?cesid=aNQswQkZlPy&searchUrl=%2Flco%2Faction%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dlisinopril%26t%3Dname%26va%3Dlisinopril). If you paste the short URL provided in this citation into your browser, you will arrive at the table of contents of the book AHFS DI (Adult and Pediatric) and can then look for the monograph described in this citation (Lisinopril).

Citations - AMA Style

Most style manuals are written with papers and research articles in mind--not PowerPoint presentations. Thus, they do not specify how to format and style presentation slides. For your Grand Rounds presentations, the following guidelines are recommended if you decide to use AMA style for your presentation. These tips are based on the AMA Manual of Style, 11th edition. Remember, it is not important which style you choose (APA or AMA) for this presentation, just consistently use the same style throughout.

Example Citation for Journal Article

Some things to note about AMA citations:

Author names only include first and middle initials and there is no punctuation between elements of a name, only a comma separating each author name; author names are in format Author AA, Author BB., etc.
For article titles, only the first letter of the first word of the title is capitalized. Exceptions to this rule are for proper names, abbreviations that are ordinally capitalized, and names of clinical trials or study groups. See Section 3.9 of the AMA Manual of Style (11th ed.) for more details.
The journal title is abbreviated using the version in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) NLM Catalog database . Use this link to search for the journal you need to find an abbreviation for.
Include a DOI if one is available. Every DOI begins with https://doi.org/. If the article does not have a DOI then a URL is acceptable. Depending on the online resource, it may be important to include date of last update and date you accessed the resource as well.

Reference List

At the end of your presentation there should be a reference list. This list should include a complete citation for every resource that you cited in your presentation. The following are some of the guidelines for reference lists included in the 11th edition of the AMA Manual of Style.

References are numbered and listed in numerical order based on their first usage in the presentation.
Journal titles are Italicized and abbreviated based on the listing in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) NLM Catalog database .

In-Text Citations

It is not necessary to include a full citation in the body of your presentation when using AMA. Simply identify the cited information with a superscript Arabic numeral in the text as in the example below.

Mutsaers et al. state that dogs with transitional cell carcinoma are useful models for humans with invasive bladder cancer. 2

The citations should be ordered numerically as they first appear in the presentation. See Section 3.6 of the AMA Manual of Style, 11th ed., for more details. The following entry would appear in the list of references at the end of the presentation for the citation above.

Mutsaers AJ, Widmer WR, Knapp DW. Canine transitional cell carcinoma. J Vet Intermal Med. 2003;17(2):136-144. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1939-1676.2003.tb02424.x

Example of Image Citations

Citations for images and figures used in your presentation that were taken from other sources are easy to cite. A superscript Arabic numeral should be used to identify the cited material and direct readers to the full citation in the reference list--just like any other cited source. Note that images sourced from PowerPoint clipart or images/charts/graphs you create do not need a citation though other public domain images and images with Creative Commons licenses should.

Figure 1. Image of a dog wearing a recovery cone 3

The full citation that would appear in your references list would be:

Du Preez P. Black pug wearing recovery cone. Unsplash. https://unsplash.com/photos/2hc6ocDAsNY . Published September 6, 2020. Accessed May 3, 2021.

Note that this image did not have a given title so a title describing the image was created. If the image is from an online source then create the full citation as if it were a website.

Citation Generators

Many databases, library catalogs, citation software, and other online services provide options to automatically generate citations for you. These can be useful tools in preparing your list of references. However, it is important to review each reference generated in this manner to ensure that it includes the correct information and that it is properly formatted.

How to format in-text citations in your document.
Author/editor names: Last name + First name initial + Middle name initial (if available). e.g., Armand Peter Smith = Smith AP.
The names of all authors and editors should be given unless there are more than 6 (7 or more), in which case the names of the first 3 authors are used, followed by “et al”). e.g., Smith TP, Brown A, McLane E, et al.
No authors, organization, or editors listed? Contact [email protected] to ask a librarian.
Titles: Follow examples when using upper- and lowercase initials and italics. Do not use quotation marks for titles (e.g., "Title").
Subtitles: Use the colon (i.e., : ) to separate the title from the subtitle. e.g., Rural Healthcare: A Definitive Guide.
Dates: Spell out the full month name for 'Accessed' date. e.g., June, not Jun or 06.
Proper nouns: Always capitalize the first initial of country/city, person, clinical tool, organization, and/or association names.

Home / Guides / Citation Guides / How to Cite Sources / How to Cite a PowerPoint Presentation in APA, MLA or Chicago

How to Cite a PowerPoint Presentation in APA, MLA or Chicago

Let’s be honest: Sometimes the best information for a paper comes straight from a professor’s PowerPoint presentation. But did you know that source needs to be cited?

Whether you’re making use of your instructor’s lecture materials or pulling information from a Powerpoint found online, you need to make sure to cite your sources if you use information from it in a project or paper.

Here’s a run -t hrough of everything this page includes:

Cite a PowerPoint Presentation in MLA format
Cite a PowerPoint Presentation in APA format
Cite a PowerPoint Presentation in Chicago Style

By now, you’re probably familiar with how to cite websites, books or journal articles, but not as knowledgeable about how to cite a Powerpoint presentation. In actuality, citing PowerPoint presentations aren’t all that different from citing written materials, so don’t let yourself be phased! It’s not too hard and compiling an MLA works cited or APA reference page doesn’t take too long—each one should take just a few minutes to create.

To help you with the process, we’ve put together a handy guide demonstrating how to cite a PowerPoint presentation in three commonly used citation styles: MLA, APA and Chicago.

Let’s start by looking for basic information you’ll need for the citation.

Information you may need to cite a PowerPoint Presentation:

Author or authors of the presentation
Presentation title
Date of publication/presentation
Place of publication/where the presentation was given
URL (if used to locate the presentation)

Cite a PowerPoint Presentation in MLA format:

MLA format citation structure:

Author Last Name, First Name. Presentation Title. Month Year, URL. PowerPoint Presentation.

Example citation :

Park, Lisa. Effective Working Teams . Jan. 2011, https://www.company.meetings/teams. PowerPoint Presentation.

In-text citation structure:

(Last Name)

Example in-text citation:

Cite a PowerPoint Presentation in APA format:

APA reference structure:

Author or Presenter Last Name, Middle Initial. First Initial. (Date of publication). Title of presentation [PowerPoint presentation]. Conference Name, Location. URL

Example reference:

Park, L. (2011, March 24-28). Effective working teams [PowerPoint presentation]. Regional Dairy Workers National Conference, New York, NY, United States. https://www.company.meetings/teams

Cite a PowerPoint Presentation in Chicago Style:

Chicago citation structure:

Author Last Name, First Name. “Presentation Title.” Lecture, Location of Lecture, Month Day, Year.

Example citation:

Park, Lisa. “Effective Working Teams.” Lecture, The Plaza Hotel, New York, NY, January 11, 2011.

Troubleshooting

Solution #1: how to cite a powerpoint that has multiple authors..

For a presentation with multiple authors, list the authors alphabetically by last name for the full reference citation. The citation will list each author by Last Name, First Initial.

If the PowerPoint has just two authors, separate them with a comma and an ampersand (&). If the PowerPoint has more than two authors, list the authors separated by commas.

Reference examples:

Felner, D., & Nguy, A. (2021 April 10-12). The history of Claymation [Slideshow]. Animation Now, Los Angeles, CA, United States.

Felner, D., Nguy, A., Becham, G. (2021 April 10-12). The history of Claymation [Slideshow]. Animation Now, Los Angeles, CA, United States.

For an in-text citation for two authors, give both surnames separated by an ampersand (&) followed by a comma and the year of publication or presentation.

For an in-text citation for three or more authors, list the first author’s surname followed by “et al.” followed by a comma and the year of publication or presentation.

In-text citation examples:

(Felner & Nguy, 2021)

(Felner et al., 2021)

For a PowerPoint with two presenters or authors, include both names in the full works-cited citation. The names need to be written as follows: First presenter’s Last Name, First Name, and then the second presenter’s First Name and Last Name.

For an in-text citation, simply list the surnames of both presenters.

In-text citation example:

(Nguy and Felner)

Work-cited entry example:

Nguy, Anna and Dominic Felner. The History of Claymation. Apr. 2021. PowerPoint Presentation.

For a PowerPoint with three or more presenters, only list one presenter’s name followed by a comma and “et al.”

For an in-text citation for three or more authors or presenters , list the surname given in the full works-cited citation followed by “et al.”

(Nguy et al.)

Nguy, Anna et al. The History of Claymation. Apr. 2021. PowerPoint Presentation.

Solution #2 How to cite a slideshow that wasn’t made with PowerPoint

If making a full works-cited citation for a slideshow that was made with another program other than PowerPoint, include the medium in brackets instead of PowerPoint.

If the presentation is not in PowerPoint, and you can’t determine what software was used, include the word “slideshow” in brackets in place of PowerPoint.

Nguy, A. (2021 April 10-12). The history of Claymation [Prezi presentation]. Animation Now, Los Angeles, CA, United States.

Nguy, A. (2021 April 10-12). The history of Claymation [Slideshow]. Animation Now, Los Angeles, CA, United States.

The in-text citation will be formatted like any other APA in-text citation (author last name, year).

(Nguy, 2021)

At the end of your full works-cited citation, include the program the slideshow was made with, formatted as: ______ Presentation.

If you are uncertain of the program used, end your citation with “slideshow” followed by a period. Nguy, Anna. The history of Claymation. Apr. 2021. Prezi Presentation. Nguy, Anna. The history of Claymation . Apr. 2021. Slideshow.

The in-text citation will be formatted like any other MLA in-text citation (author last name).

To cite PowerPoint presentation slides, include the author name, year/date of presentation, the title, the source description, the website and/or university name, and the URL where the source can be found.

If the PowerPoint presentation is not accessible to the reader, cite the slides as personal communication.

If you want to cite a PowerPoint in MLA or APA style, you need to have basic information including the name of the author(s), title of the presentation, date and place of publication, and URL. For in-text citations, you need to include only the author name(s) in MLA style and author name(s) and year in APA style.

How do I cite a class lecture/PowerPoint in AMA Style?

AMA does not offer a citation example for a class lecture or PowerPoint. The closest example is one for Unpublished Materials Presented at a Meeting . We have adapted this example to create an example for class materials:

PowerPoint only

Professor last name first initial(s). Title of presentation. PowerPoint presented at: Course Number(as it appears in Banner) Name of Class(fully written out); Month day, year; Poughkeepsie, NY.

Smith JM. How to present. PowerPoint presented at: PHTH620 Introduction to Public Speaking; January 3, 2022; Poughkeepsie, NY.

PowerPoint & Lecture

The AMA Manual gives no specific guidelines for citing and referencing in PowerPoint presentation slides.

If this is for a class, you should check with the professor to see if he or she has a preference. However, it is generally accepted to include the full citation instead of including all citations on one slide at the end of the presentation as PowerPoint presentations can be disassembled. You can reduce the size of the citation's font to make it appear less distracting.

Keep in mind that you should definitely give full credit to the sources somewhere in your presentation. Also, be consistent; If you cite one way on one slide, be sure to use the same style throughout the rest of the presentation.

*If you are citing a presentation that does not present original data, cite the original source.

PowerPoint presentations often convey a lot of information in a brief format that's easy to understand. For this reason, they also make excellent sources for a research paper — especially if you're writing on a complex, cutting-edge topic. But how should you cite your source? The elements included in your citation are generally the same as those you would use for any other lecture or presentation. Your specific format will vary, though, depending on whether you're using the Modern Language Association (MLA), American Psychological Association (APA), or Chicago citation style.

Step 1 Start your Works Cited entry with the name of the presenter.

Example: Kalyanaraman, Ananth.

Step 2 Add the title of the presentation in quotation marks.

Example: Kalyanaraman, Ananth. "CPT S 317: Automata and Formal Languages."

Step 3 Include the date of the presentation and name of the sponsoring organization.

Example: Kalyanaraman, Ananth. "CPT S 317: Automata and Formal Languages." 2017. School of EECS, Washington State University, Pullman.

Step 4 Identify the source as a PowerPoint presentation.

Example: Kalyanaraman, Ananth. "CPT S 317: Automata and Formal Languages." 2017. School of EECS, Washington State University, Pullman. Microsoft PowerPoint presentation.

Step 5 Provide a direct URL if the presentation is available online.

Example: Kalyanaraman, Ananth. "CPT S 317: Automata and Formal Languages." 2017. School of EECS, Washington State University, Pullman. Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. eecs.wsu.edu/~ananth/CptS317/Lectures/Course.pdf.

Step 6 Include the presenter's name and slide number for in-text citations.

For example, you might write: One of the objectives of the course is to introduce automata theory and the theory of computation (Kalyanaraman slide 3).

Step 1 Use only an in-text citation if the presentation isn't available online.

The basic format for a personal communication in-text citation is as follows: (A. Lastname, personal communication, Month day, year).

Step 2 Start your Reference List entry with the name of the presenter.

Example: Braun, M.

Step 3 List the date for the presentation.

Example: Braun, M. (2020).

Step 4 Add the title of the presentation and the format.

Example: Braun, M. (2020). Diseases of the nervous system [PowerPoint slides].

Step 5 Provide the direct URL for the PowerPoint presentation.

Example: Braun, M. (2020). Diseases of the nervous system [PowerPoint slides]. http://medsci.indiana.edu/c602web/602/c602web/opt/braun/Diseases_NervousSystem.pdf

Step 6 Include the presenter's last name and the year for in-text citations.

For example, you might write: A subdural hemorrhage is a rotational injury that causes slow bleeding (Braun, 2020).
If you use the presenter's name in the text of your paper, add a parenthetical immediately after the name with the year for the presentation. For example, you might write: Braun (2020) differentiates between different types of brain hemorrhages, which require different treatment.
If you quote directly from the presentation, add the slide number after the year. For example, you might write: According to Braun (2020, slide 3), the "accumulation of junk" in the central nervous system can lead to problems.

Step 1 Start your Bibliography entry with the presenter's name.

Example: Damodaran, Aswath.

Example: Damodaran, Aswath. "Intrinsic Valuation."

Step 3 Include the format, location, and date for the presentation.

Example: Damodaran, Aswath. "Intrinsic Valuation." PowerPoint presentation, Equity Instruments, NYU Stern School of Business, New York, NY, January 2020.

Step 4 Close your entry with a direct URL for the presentation.

Example: Damodaran, Aswath. "Intrinsic Valuation." PowerPoint presentation, Equity Instruments, NYU Stern School of Business, New York, NY, January 2020. http://people.stern.nyu.edu/adamodar/pdfiles/eqnotes/valpacket1spr20.pdf.

Step 5 Include the same information in footnotes with different formatting.

Example: Aswath Damodaran, "Intrinsic Valuation," (PowerPoint presentation, Equity Instruments, NYU Stern School of Business, New York, NY, January 2020), http://people.stern.nyu.edu/adamodar/pdfiles/eqnotes/valpacket1spr20.pdf.
After the first footnote, use a shortened format for subsequent footnotes with the last name of the presenter and the title of the presentation. For example:

Community Q&A

If the slides come from a classroom website, company intranet, or learning management system (such as Canvas or Blackboard), use the URL only if you're writing for an audience that would have access to that system. [18] X Research source Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0

Citing Sources in PowerPoint Slides

PowerPoint - In-text Citations
PowerPoint - References List

Note: APA does not have specific rules about the format of PowerPoint slides. Rasmussen University does have recommended guidelines outlined below and in the attached PPT presentation.

PowerPoint slides may need citations, depending on what type of information is included on the slide.

If the text on a slide is a quote (someone else's words, verbatim) or someone else's ideas in the presenter's own words, then a citation is needed.

If the text placed on a slide is simply a word or phrase that represents a topic that the presenter will be discussing in greater detail, then a citation is not needed.

The table below includes two PowerPoint slides (left side). The column on the right tells whether or not the information would need to be cited and why.

Speaker Notes: Some assignments require text in the Speaker Notes area of the PowerPoint slide. If information from a source is quoted, summarized, or paraphrased in that area, an in-text citation and reference will likely be required. Ask your instructor for clarification.

Presentations & APA Citation Style at Rasmussen University Great resource to share with students if they are having struggles with APA in PPTs.

PowerPoint Slides - References

There are two ways to include the Reference list in your presentation:

Coordinating reference lists are typically handed out during or after the presentation either in print if presenting in person, or electronically if presenting online. This is the preferred method of including a Reference list of the sources cited in your slide deck.
Include a Reference list in the last slide of the presentation. This is an acceptable method if there are not many resources to include. Avoid adding so many resources to the list that the type is not legible to those attending the presentation

Creating the Reference List Slide

If you use outside sources in your presentation (noted in your in-text citations), you must cite those sources on a References page/slide.
Your Reference page can be created in NoodleTools, exported to Microsoft Word, and distributed or submitted with your slides to those who attend your presentation. Ask your instructor if they would like a Reference slide as the last slide of your presentation. Note that you may need more than one slide depending on how many references are needed.

See the slide deck below for more information.

AMA citation style is demanded among medical and scientific researchers. As they investigate and analyze much relevant information on their subject area, they need to refer to it somehow. No matter what kind of medical research topic an author is working on! It can be an article to journals, dissertations, or abstracts. The AMA paper format is required to be used for reference. How to cite in AMA format? What formulas are used to provide correct reference? How to refer to a book, online sources, presentations? Are you confused about what to start with? You landed at the right place and on time. Let us show and explain basic principles used in AMA with examples accompanied.

AMA Format: Citation

Let's interpret AMA style citation before starting with exact rules and samples. So, what is AMA citation? It is reference system used by academic authors to cite the contribution of other researchers. It enables us to put an accurate reference to other works of other authors in two ways. First, it is necessary to give a full description of an entry in a AMA reference page . Second, an author should cite the same reference within work that is called an AMA in text citation . Thus, AMA involves specific entry elements to include in both citing manners. This citation style was created by the American Medical Association. It focuses specifically on their publications. However, it is widely used in different universities and publications with some variations in them.

AMA: Book Citation

The first source an author deals with is book, and it’s necessary to know how to cite a book in AMA. This kind of literature can be used differently by researchers. They can cite only one chapter from chosen book that reveals the key notions. However, complete book with various theories and concepts can also be cited. The latter should be referred to due to AMA citation for book. Sometimes, they can cite someone’s dissertation as recent proven research. In addition, online books are available, and they also should be cited. Whatever useful information an author can find, a source it was taken from needs to be cited due to AMA style. Accordingly, reference entry in a book citing contains such compulsory elements in a particular order:

Author(s) Name (Last Name First Initial|Middle Initial);
Book’s Title: Book’s Subtitle;
Edition Number (indicate the last edition);
Publication Place: Publisher; Publication Year.

Besides, some entry elements are given in an appropriate formatting manner and used with particular punctuation. For example, the 2nd position in the formula is italicized and separated by colons. After Publication Date, double colons are given as it discloses further information about Publisher and Year. Semicolons are used after Publisher. Thus, all element positions are joined with periods. Take a look at this example:

Pay attention that there is no comma between Last Name and Initials when one author is identified. More detailed information about citing other sources is given below. If you lack time to read on, simply shop for our nursing paper writing service and focus on more important things tonight.

AMA Textbook Citation

Once an author finds a textbook helpful for work, it makes sense to know how to cite a textbook AMA. The same general citation formula is used for citing a textbook. Keep in mind that they often are revised or republished. So, make sure you cite the last version of this source. Thus, the formula of textbook citation is as follows:

Author(s) Name;
Book’s Title;
Edition Number (give the second edition or above);
Publication Place: Publisher; Copywrite Year.

Consider the following example:

AMA Book Chapter Citation

Implementing information from a chapter, one should utilize AMA citation book chapter. Such additional elements are used as Chapter’s Author(s), Chapter Title, Editor’s Name (if available), and Chapter’s Pages. Thus, the general format of an entry reference is next:

Chapter’s Author(s);
Chapter Title;
In: Editor’s Name (if available), eds.;
Edition Number;
Publication Place: Publisher; Year: Pages.

Pages from a chapter are mentioned after Publication Year and separated with colons. The following example serves as a perfect illustration:

Citation AMA: Edited Book

In AMA citation edited book the equal formula for citing a book is applied. The only difference is the 1st position where Editor Name is given instead of Author. Check the respective formula:

Editor(s) Name (Last Name First Initial|Middle Initial), ed.;
Publication Place: Publisher; Year.

Take a look at this example:

AMA edited book chapter citation example

After mentioning an editor, “ed.” is given after. When there is more than one editor, then all editors should be listed with “eds.” in the end. Consider the following example:

AMA edited book citation with more than one editor example

AMA Citation: Online Book

AMA citation ebook involves the same format as for book reference. As it is digital information, URL should be given and Accessed Date mentioned at the end of reference. When referring to an online book, stick to the following formula:

Author(s) Name (Last Name First Initial|Middle Initial), ed.;
Publication Place: Publisher; Year;
Accessed Date (Month-Day-Year).

The following example serves as a perfect illustration:

AMA Citation: Multiple Authors

Plenty of books can contain several authors. When they count more than 6, AMA citation more than 6 authors comes to help. If the reference has up to 6 authors, commas are used to separate each name. Take a look at this example:

AMA book citation multiple authors example

When there are more than 6 authors, the first three should be listed and followed by “et al.”. Consider the following example:

AMA Citation: Dissertation

New concepts and proven theories are frequently searched in dissertations. Consequently, dissertation AMA citations are implemented to cite them. The formula structure is much similar to the one used for citing a book. Only University Name and Dissertation Title are added. This information is typically available online. That's why URL and Accessed Date are also to be input. The formula of dissertation citation is next:

Dissertation Title [Dissertation];
University Name;
Copywrite Year;
Accessed Date;
URL (no period used in the end).

AMA Citation: Journal

Journal is a specialized publication containing various fruitful articles that can be used in research papers cited due to AMA journal citation. Whether found in a public library or online journal, authors use practically the same formula to cite an article on a specific theme. For more detailed information about citing a journal article, look below.

AMA Citation: Journal Article

Referring to an article from a printed journal, one should stick to AMA article citation rules. It is quite similar to book chapter citation. Although, there are some additional elements and replacement. For instance, instead of Book Title, Journal Abbreviation is mentioned. Additional elements are Volume, Issue, and Pages of an article. Accordingly, the formula looks like this:

Article Title: Subtitle;
Journal Abbreviation;
Volume (Issue);
Article Pages.

Keep in mind to follow certain format and punctuation in some elements. Journal Abbreviation is italicized. Semicolons are used after Year, colons — after Volume (Issue). Issue is given in parentheses. Article pages are meant as a range of pages. Look at an example below. The following example serves as a perfect illustration:

AMA Citation: Online Article

AMA citation for online journal citation doesn’t differ much from the description mentioned above. Only DOI or URL are inserted as electronic addresses they are taken from. Therefore, the general format with DOI (digital object identifier) element is as follows:

Article Pages;

The citing formula of an online article with URL element is next:

AMA online article citation with url example

Citing a Website: AMA

Many investigations made by known organizations on medicine and health care are available online, so AMA citation website style is applied then. Accordingly, the name of the organization mentioned on its website is to be used instead of Author Name when no author is identified. This kind of information can be updated. So, such entry elements like Published, Updated, and Accessed Dates should be given if available. The AMA reference of a website is as follows:

Author(s) (if not identified, put Organization Name);
Item Title (or Organization Name responsible for the site);
Website Title;
Published Date (if available);
Updated Date (if available);
Accessed Date.

AMA Powerpoint Citation

PowerPoint is considered a visual tool to present key points of a message and should be presented in AMA citation powerpoint style. It is convenient for lecturers or representatives to share significant concepts with a target audience in the form of a presentation. In addition, some relevant powerpoints are available online at the websites of a university or other organizations. So, for detailed information on how to cite a presentation, take a look below.

AMA: Presentation Citation

AMA citation for powerpoint presentation involves other entry elements different for referring to a particular article. Of course, some distinctions are implemented because a presentation has another shape. Such elements as Location, Date, and Place are compulsory to mention. The formula of presentation citation is as follows:

Author Name;
Presentation Title;
Paper/ Poster/Lecture presented at: Place; Date; Location.

Whether it is a poster, paper, or lecture, it should be inserted in an entry before “presented at”.

AMA: Lecture Citation

When it comes to personal presentation, AMA citation lecture is provided when a lecturer permits you to use it in your reference. The formula in citing a lecture is like the one mentioned above and contains:

Presenter’s Name;
Description of presentation context;
State (Province or Country).

AMA: Image Citation

Pictures are helpful visual tools to add to research work, and an appropriate AMA picture citation should be provided. There is a difference in images used for reference: whether printed image or online. In the first case, an entry reference includes details about a journal or book it was taken from. A responding formula is as follows:

Title of specific item cited;

When citing an online image, then it is presented as a web object with URL added:

AMA: Figure Citation

Figures are used to present some illustrations or graphs in works, and figure citation in AMA is quite simple. They should have a title like a Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. When referring to a figure in the text and there is more than one, it is necessary to number them in order. Also, it should be positioned to its first mention as close as possible. Citing a figure includes its corresponding number. Consider the following example:

AMA Citation: Video

Writing a research paper, any source of information, even a video program, can help much, and AMA program citation shows how to include it. The reference format of a video program contains such elements as:

Author or host of program (if no author, use Publisher Name);
Title [Format];
State (or Country);

AMA: Youtube Citation

Many educational and medically-based videos are found on a Youtube channel and should be cited according to AMA citation Youtube video. For sure, there is a creator of a video who uploaded it on the platform and made it accessible to others. But before using it as a reference, permission from a creator is crucial. Therefore, Youtube citation consists of:

Creator(s);
Video Title [Video]. Youtube;
Publication Date;

AMA: Movie Citation

Documentary movies are often used in a citation on specific topics, and rules of AMA citation for movie are implemented. Instead of Creator, it is mentioned Director and some additionals about this type of video. Thus, the general formula for movie reference is as follows:

Movie Title & Subtitle;
[Movie Format];
Publication Place;

AMA: Programs

Computer literacy is highly required in our modern world, especially in medicine, and AMA program citation style is necessary to include. In addition, high-tech products allow the implementation of various data and software in research work. Consequently, these data should be included in a reference list. How to present it correctly? Look for detailed information below. Also, you can consider ordering custom nursing papers to save time and, truth be told, a lot of nerves writing AMA homework tasks.

AMA: Software

If the software is purchased, it should take place in citation and use AMA formatting software. In cases that are available for free, there is no need to cite them. So, due to the first case, the citing formula looks like this:

Software Title [Compute Software];

AMA: Database

Updated articles and the latest news are often stored in digital databases, and an author should provide AMA database citation in paperwork. Thus, appropriate information is presented as a web object and incorporates such entry elements:

Database Author(s);
Database Title;
Updated [Date of update];
Accessed [Date of access].

AMA Citation: Personal Communication

When using AMA citation for a personal communication, it means referring to e-mail, interviews, personal reports or e-mail listserv messages. This type of reference is typically used only in the text but not in reference list. Therefore, it makes this source of information different from others. This citation has some peculiarities to consider. It is given in parentheses and includes:

Speaker’s Name;
Speaker’s Academic Degree(s);
Communication Type;
Message Date;
URL (for online message).

If it’s an online email, it’s important to mention it as well as the relevance and authority of the citation. A respective example is given below. The following example serves as a perfect illustration:

AMA personal communication citation example

AMA Citation: Interview

An interview is also considered a type of personal communication to include in paperwork, which is provided through AMA citation interview. Like e-mail, it takes a parenthetical form in an in-text reference with the same entry elements used in citing e-mail. Take a look at this example:

AMA Citation: Government Report

Relevant information and concepts are available through various government reports, and one should utilize AMA report citation format. They are normally found in the bulletin, data of which is included in citation. The general formula for report is next:

Bulletin Title;

AMA: Quote Citation

A research paper also might require an accurate application of author’s quotes in it. Thus, AMA citation direct quote is demanded in this case. This information is taken from an original text. So, it is given directly in the body of the text in quotation marks. And superscript is used after it. Here is an example how it looks like. The following example serves as a perfect illustration:

Final Thoughts on Citing in AMA Format

AMA format citation provides a clear and strict understanding of presenting someone’s opinions and research outcomes in work. All information given above is relevant and helpful for academic authors in preparing a reference list. First, it is useful for them to cite an appropriate source in a body of work. When citing personal information that is not publicly available, one should remember about Copywrite . In this case, it is necessary to obtain an author’s permission before referring to their personal messages. Keep in mind to use reference to every source, whether national or international. This will ensure that you keep fair academic writing. Avoid plagiarism in any case. Your work should be unique and full of relevant concepts and ideas correctly presented.
