ASA citation

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
FORMATTING YOUR PAPER

AMA citation style is intended to prepare a scholarly article for publication in a medical research journal, such as JAMA or New England Journal of Medicine. AMA does not address formatting a college research paper. There are no standards on formatting like we'd expect to find. For example, line spacing, page numbers, etc.

Many NWACC instructors provide assignments that spell out the formatting requirements. When the assignment does not provide specific formatting instructions, use these recommended guidelines.

1. Font: Times New Roman 12 pt.

2. Line Spacing: Single

3. Margins: 1 inch

4. Page Numbers: Arabic numerals in the upper right corner (1, 2, 3, etc.)

5. Student's Name and Information: Upper left of first page, flush against the margin.. Include:

6. Title of Paper: Centered on the page in bold type.

7. Section Headings: See samples above.

1. LEVEL ONE: All caps, bold, flush on the left margin. Begin content on the line below.

2. Level Two: Title case, bold, flush on left margin. Begin content on the line below. What is "title case?" Title Case is when the first letter of each main word is capitalized. Example of Title Case.

8. REFERENCES

1. Section heading: REFERENCES or REFERENCE LIST are both acceptable.

2. Numbered list (1, 2, 3, etc.)

3. Sources are listed in the order used in the paper.

4. Single space entries.

5. Double space between entries.

Customizable Templates

FORMATTING REFERENCE LIST ENTRIES

Because the current version of AMA Citation Style has some ambiguities, NWACC classes use the formatting shown below. Use of citation generators may not produce the same results and result in scoring or grade deductions. For NWACC assignments, use the following format. More information can be found in the Quick Guide pdf document above.
