The AMA Manual advises against including unpublished works in end references; however, they should be acknowledged in the text. For instance:
These findings have recently been corroborated…. ( S. Dougall, unpublished report, 2023).
It's important to note that this advice primarily applies to professional papers and not student papers. For students, the following citation approach is recommended.
- Dougall S. Draft Decision Making Framework. University of Otago. Unpublished report; 2023.
