When to use capitals in a reference?Capitalisation of book titles. There are two systems for capitalising book titles: maximal capitalisation and minimal capitalisation. Either system can be used for book titles, however, it is important that the same system be used throughout a text. Maximal Capitalisation The first letters of all the words in a title are capitalised except articles (unless these articles are the first word of a title) such as the, a, in, of. Subtitles (after a colon) are similarly treated. Instructional Design in Technical Areas Remembering: A Study in Experimental and Social Psychology A History of Spanish Literature Minimal Capitalisation Apart from the first letter of the first word, no words in the title are capitalised unless those words would normally bare a capital. Only the first letter of the first word in a sub title is capitalised. Instructional design in technical areas Remembering: A study in experimental and social psychology A history of Spanish literature Capitalisation of article titles & chapter titles. The titles and subtitles of articles in journals or chapter titles from books are given minimal capitalisation and are enclosed in single quotation marks.
