How many authors does AMA list?

Up to six. With seven or more, the first three are listed followed by et al., which is what this formatter prints.

Should the journal name be abbreviated?

AMA uses the National Library of Medicine abbreviation, for example JAMA or N Engl J Med. Type the abbreviated title in the journal field; the tool prints exactly what you enter.

Does AMA 11 include the publisher's city?

No. The 11th edition dropped the place of publication, so even if you fill in the place, a book ends with only the publisher and year, as in "Simon & Schuster; 2014."

Is AMA the same as Vancouver?
