How Do I Cite the Nutrition Care Manual® (NCM®)? 
               
              The American Medical Association style citation for entire NCM® Web site 
              would be: 
              American Dietetic Association. Nutrition Care Manual®. 
              http://www.nutritioncaremanual.org. Accessed [Month Day, Year that you visited 
              the site]. 
               
              Citation for a specific page would be: 
              American Dietetic Association. Nutrition Care Manual®. [name of page]. [URL 
              for specific page]. Accessed [Month Day, Year]. 
               
              For example: 
              American Dietetic Association. Nutrition Care Manual®. Dysphagia: disease 
              process.

              Other style manuals may order the information in a slightly different way, but will 
              require the same basic info: Name of institution. Name of website. Page title. 
              URL. Accessed date. 
               
              The accessed date is essential data, because NCM® is updated annually. Note that

              the new (10
              electronic sources they cite, in case the electronic version is replaced or deleted.  
               
              Note: If you wish to reprint or adapt material from NCM® for publication in 
              another source (either print or electronic), contact the permissions editor
