textual formatting
Capitalization and italics or underlining are used to distinguish different types of information in the reference.
You should always capitalize:
- Author surnames and first initials
- The first word of an article, chapter or book title
- The first word after a colon (:) in a title
- All words in a journal title (not the article name itself)
- Publication locations
- Publishers
Capitalization style also enables you to a easily distinguish books from journal articles. For example:
As an additional note, titles of books and journals (NOT journal articles), as well as unpublished presentations and papers should be either underlined or italicized.
