Numbering
References

References should be numbered consecutively with arabic numerals in the order in which they are cited in the text.

Unnumbered references, in the form of a resource or reading list, are rarely used in the JAMA Network journals. When they are used, these references appear alphabetically, by the first author’s last name, in a list separate from the specifically cited reference list. The difference between this type of bibliography and a reference list is that the reference list is only composed of references to those items cited in the manuscript.
