Books, reports and periodical titles

- Italicize the titles and subtitles of books, reports and periodicals (journals, magazines, newspapers)

- Capitalize only the first word of the title and the subtitle (sentence case capitalization) and all proper nouns e.g.:

Credit unions in Canada: IBISWorld industry report 52213CA (report title)

- Capitalize names of periodicals as you would capitalize them normally, e.g.:

International Business Review (journal title)

BC Business (magazine title)

Article titles

Do not italicize. Use sentence case capitalization.

Missing title

Sometimes a source has no clear title -- this can happen with sources such as tables or maps generated from searches within some databases.

In such cases, you should write a very brief description of the resource within square brackets containing information that would help your reader find or recreate the same source (table, map, etc.) For example, your square brackets might include the variables you searched for to create a table.

Example: [Potato chips personally eaten most often: Lay's Lightly Salted, report type: demographics, base: British Columbia 12+].
