The Study Design and Statistics chapter of the 11th edition of the AMA Manual of Style begins with a description of the parts of a scientific manuscript and the role of each part: Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion. The features unique to different study types are outlined: randomized clinical trials, parallel-design double-blind trials, crossover trials, equivalence and noninferiority trials, cluster trials, observational studies, cohort studies, case-control studies, case series, comparative effectiveness research, meta-analyses, cost-effectiveness/cost-benefit analyses, quality improvement studies, and survey studies. Because correct treatment depends on accurate diagnosis, attention is given to various types of diagnostic tests. A large glossary of statistical terms indicates the appropriate applications of commonly used statistical techniques, providing definitions, presentation, and tips and guidelines for correct usage. Many new terms have been added to this glossary since the previous edition.

The Greek Letters chapter of the 11th edition of the AMA Manual of Style not only includes a table of capital and lowercase Greek letters, but addresses when to use the Greek letter rather than the word and when capital letters are appropriate after a Greek letter. New to the chapter is a discussion of Greek letters in an electronic format.

The Punctuation chapter of the 11th edition of the AMA Manual of Style includes guidance on usage of many punctuation marks, as well as examples to illustrate the style. Included are the period, question mark, and exclamation point; comma, semicolon, and colon; hyphens and dashes; forward slash (virgule); parentheses and brackets; quotation marks; apostrophe; and ellipses. Expanded guidance on punctuation within lists or enumerations has been added, as have several policy changes: no hyphen in email and no period in the reference list after a URL or a DOI if either of these is the final item in the reference.
