The AMA (American Medical Association) style is a widely used citation style for the medical and scientific fields. In AMA style, images and figures are cited in a similar way to other sources, such as articles and books.
To properly cite an image in AMA style, you should provide a caption for the image, as well as a reference in the text and a full reference in the reference list.
The caption for the image should be placed directly below the image and should include the figure number and a brief description of the image. For example, "Figure 1. Diagram of the human respiratory system."
In the text, you should include the figure number and a brief description of the image, such as "The human respiratory system is shown in Figure 1."
The full reference for the image should be included in the reference list at the end of the document. The reference should include the figure number, the title of the image (if available), the source of the image (such as a book or journal), and the year the image was published. For example:
Figure 1. Diagram of the human respiratory system. In: Human Anatomy. 7th ed. New York: Elsevier, 2020.
It is important to properly cite images and figures in AMA style to give credit to the original source and to allow readers to easily locate the source themselves. By following the guidelines outlined above, you can ensure that you are properly citing images in AMA style.
