Häufig gestellte Fragen

How many authors do I list before using 'et al'?

In AMA reference lists, include all authors. In in-text, use first author et al. for 4+ authors.

Should I use abbreviated or full journal names?

AMA prefers standard abbreviations found in MEDLINE/PubMed.

Is DOI required?

Include DOI if available. If no DOI, the citation is still complete with volume/issue/pages.
