Frequently Asked Questions

How do I cite an image in AMA?

Include the creator, title, year, the image type when relevant, the site or collection name, and the URL. CiteMe formats the citation automatically in AMA.

Can I use this AMA image citation generator for photographs, infographics, and illustrations?

Yes. It works for photographs, charts, infographics, diagrams, illustrations, museum images, and figures published online, as long as you can identify the source page or original URL.

Do I cite the image itself or the page where the image appears in AMA?

Cite the original source page or collection that publishes the image, not the search engine or social feed where you discovered it. If the image belongs to a larger article or report, make sure the citation points to that original publication context.
