Databases often capitalize the entire title of an article or book, while other types of styles (like the AP style or the APA style) only capitalize the first word. You must change the capitalization of the title to MLA style if you reference the title of a work in your paper. Marking the Title : There are three possible ways to mark a title: the use of underlining/italics, quotation marks, or no mark at all. The following general rules of thumb may help writers conceptualize the difference between the three demarcations: 1  Underline or italicize large works or works that contain other works.
Underline or use italics for titles of books, periodicals and software. Titles of. articles are. enclosed in quotation marks. 3. Note punctuation and follow exactly. 4. If required information, such as author or place of publication, is not available, just leave it. out. 5. Arrange all sources in one list, alphabetically by ï¬rst word, which will generally be either. the author's last name or the ï¬rst important word of the title. PRINT RESOURCES.
