AMA 11th Video Citation Generator
Citing a video (online streaming video (YouTube, Vimeo, or TED Talk)) under the American Medical Association (11th Edition) framework requires combining AMA (American Medical Association)'s punctuation hierarchy with the specific metadata of the source. To construct a compliant entry, researchers must collect the person or channel that uploaded the video, exact upload date (Year, Month Day), italicized video title, [Video] bracketed label, platform name, and URL. In the body of your paper, AMA (American Medical Association) utilizes superscript Arabic numerals (e.g., ¹⁻³) placed outside periods and commas, which links directly to an entry organized in numerical citation-sequence order based on first appearance in the manuscript.
When formatting a video in AMA (American Medical Association), pay close attention to contributor names and capitalization. Specifically, AMA (American Medical Association) enforces surname followed by initials without periods or spaces (e.g., Smith JA), listing up to 6 authors before truncating to et al. after the 3rd author, and applies sentence case for article and chapter titles, and abbreviated italicized titles for medical journals per NLM/PubMed standards. AMA 11th edition eliminates periods after author initials and journal abbreviations to maximize typographic density in clinical literature. Furthermore, if your video does not display an individual creator, the rule is straightforward: use the official channel name or username as the author if the real name of the creator is not displayed on the channel.
For digital and online video references, AMA (American Medical Association) stipulates providing a direct DOI prefix (doi:10.xxxx) or full URL accompanied by an explicit accessed date prior to the link. When citing a TED Talk watched on YouTube, cite the uploader as TED; when watched on TED.com, credit the speaker themselves as the primary author. Using the client-side AMA (American Medical Association) Video generator below, you can automatically parse URLs, DOIs, or ISBNs and apply these exact Citation Style Language (CSL) rules locally in your browser with zero server tracking.

Critical Errors to Avoid
- Source-Specific Pitfall: Crediting the speaker in the video as the author when the video was uploaded by an independent third-party YouTube channel (always credit the uploader or specify both).
- Title & Author Formatting: Failing to apply AMA (American Medical Association)'s requirement of sentence case for article and chapter titles, and abbreviated italicized titles for medical journals per NLM/PubMed standards, or violating the contributor rule (surname followed by initials without periods or spaces (e.g., Smith JA), listing up to 6 authors before truncating to et al. after the 3rd author).
- Locator & Sorting Mismatch: Ordering the bibliography incorrectly instead of using numerical citation-sequence order based on first appearance in the manuscript, or neglecting AMA (American Medical Association)'s link rule for a video (providing a direct DOI prefix (doi:10.xxxx) or full URL accompanied by an explicit accessed date prior to the link).
