<summary>AMA Manual of Style: A Guide for Authors and Editors (11th ed.), without URLs. Modified from original, by Simon Knight to convert to author-date in-line, and alphabetical unnumbered bibliography, with other minor changes for brevity.
Using Zotero 'extra' fields (me: yes) with better bibtex csl export custom fields the style will prepend an * to any flagged citations.</summary>
