AMA Style Guide

Definition: 

Web resources come in many formats, including websites, web pages, videos, social media, and more. Note that more detailed information about creating citations for articles and books, including those found on the web is provided in other tabs in this guide. Web citations include two main differences from other citations: URLs and accessed dates. Always include the most specific URL that you are using, i.e. if you are citing a web page, use the URL for the page. An accessed date is required when there is no date of publication or the page you are citing frequently changes. In reference lists, the URL will be the last item, following dates posted/updated/accessed. No period follows it. When a DOI is included for journal references, no period follows.

Basic Citation Format:

Author's Last Name Initial(s). Title of page. Name of website. Published Month Day, Year. Updated Month Day, Year. Accessed Month, Day, Year. URL
