How do I cite content?

When citing content from an eBook on eBooks+, follow the American Medical Association (AMA) Manual of Style, 10th edition guidelines.

The information you need for a complete citation may vary depending on whether you are citing an entire book, a chapter, or a specific section.

What information should I include?

  • Author(s) or editor(s)
  • Chapter or section title, if applicable
  • Book title
  • Edition
  • Place of publication
  • Publisher
  • Year of publication
  • eBooks+ as the electronic source
  • The URL or link to the content, when available
  • The date you accessed the content
