16.1.3 CapitalizationCapitalize most titles headline style, but capitalize titles in <strong>for</strong>eign languages sentence style.(See 22.3.1 <strong>for</strong> both styles.) Capitalize proper nouns in the usual way (see chapter 22).16.1.4 Typography <strong>of</strong> TitlesTitles <strong>of</strong> larger entities (books, journals) are printed in italics; titles <strong>of</strong> smaller entities(chapters, articles) are printed in roman type <strong>and</strong> enclosed in quotation marks. Titles <strong>of</strong>unpublished works (such as <strong>dissertations</strong>) are printed in roman type <strong>and</strong> enclosed in quotationmarks, even if they are book length.16.1.5 NumbersIn titles, numbers are spelled out or given in numerals exactly as they are in the original. Pagenumbers that are in roman numerals in the original are presented in lowercase romannumerals. All other numbers (such as chapter numbers or figure numbers) are given in arabicnumerals, even if they are in roman numerals or spelled out in the original.16.1.6 AbbreviationsIn notes, abbreviate terms such as editor, translator, <strong>and</strong> volume (ed., trans., <strong>and</strong> vol.). Inbibliography entries, these terms are <strong>of</strong>ten spelled out when they introduce an element (Editedby) but abbreviated when they conclude it (ed.). The plural is usually <strong>for</strong>med by adding s(eds.) unless the abbreviation ends in an s (use trans. <strong>for</strong> both singular <strong>and</strong> plural).16.1.7 IndentationNotes are indented like other paragraphs in the text; all following lines are flush left.Bibliography entries have a hanging indentation: the first line is flush left <strong>and</strong> all followinglines are indented the same space as paragraphs.16.2 BibliographiesPapers that use the notes-bibliography citation style typically include both notes <strong>and</strong> abibliography listing all sources cited in the notes. Although the same in<strong>for</strong>mation appears inboth notes <strong>and</strong> bibliographies, readers need it in both places, because they use notes <strong>and</strong>bibliographies differently. Notes let readers quickly check the source <strong>for</strong> a particular referencewithout disrupting the flow <strong>of</strong> their reading. Bibliographies show readers the extent <strong>of</strong> your<strong>research</strong> <strong>and</strong> its relationship to prior work. Bibliographies also help readers use your sourcesin their own <strong>research</strong>. So unless you have only a h<strong>and</strong>ful <strong>of</strong> sources or your instructor tellsyou otherwise, always include both notes <strong>and</strong> a bibliography in your <strong>papers</strong>.
