Citing Business Sources – AMA Format

Within the academic community, it is very important to cite and reference your sources in reports, papers and essays. The University of Western Ontario takes plagiarism and citing sources very seriously. Plagiarizing or failing to cite is considered an academic offence (UWO's Scholastic Discipline and Academic Sanctions). It is highly recommended by library staff that patrons learn and use RefWorks as well as Write-NCite when referencing and creating bibliographies. These tools help make citing your sources a very simple and easy process. It is a free service that anyone within the Western community can use. To create an account, please visit Western Libraries RefWorks site. For your convenience we provide common citation examples found in the fields relating to business and management below. The following table lists the types of citations to the kinds of resources you are likely to be using (books, journals, databases, etc.) By clicking on the appropriate link in the table you will be taken to the related citation example. Format: AMA: American Management Association: Business Reference List explains how to cite all of your sources (alphabetically) at the end of your report. In-Text Citation explains how to cite your sources within your paper, following a sentence. Footnotes/Endnotes explain how to cite your sources either at the bottom of the page or the end of the report with numerical accuracy. A bibliography is still necessary at the end of the report as well.
