How to use the AMA Citation Style

AMA citation notes formating

1. AMA citation notes are not Parenthetical.  They consist of superscript Arabic numerals. "These superscript numbers should be outside periods and commas but inside colons and semicolons." -- From Purdue Owl (https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/ama_style/index.html)

For example:

2. Sequential notes use a hyphen.

For example:

Ted1-3 suggested that . . . .

3. Multiple non-sequential notes use a comma.

For example:

Sally1-2,5 reports on . . . .
