Title
Parenthetical citations–reference list style: citing specific types of sources
Part II. Source Citation

List complete book titles and subtitles in reference list entries. Italicize both, and separate the title from the subtitle with a colon. If there are two subtitles, use a colon before the first and a semicolon before the second.

Ahmed, Leila. 1999. A border passage: From Cairo to America; A woman's journey. New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux.

Capitalize all titles and subtitles sentence style; that is, capitalize only the first letter of the first word of the title and subtitle and any proper nouns and proper adjectives thereafter (see 22.3.1). Preserve the spelling, hyphenation, and punctuation of the original title, although you may change an ampersand (&) to and. Spell out numbers or give them as numerals according to the original (twelfth century or 12th century) unless there is a good reason to make them consistent with other titles in the list.

For titles of chapters and other parts of a book, see 19.1.9.

SPECIAL ELEMENTS IN TITLES. Several elements in titles require special typography.

Dates. Use a comma to set off dates in a title or subtitle, even if there is no punctuation in the original source. If the source introduces the dates with a preposition (“from 1920 to 1945”) or a colon, follow the usage in the source.

Titles and quotations within titles. When the title of a work that would normally be italicized appears within the italicized title of another, enclose the quoted title in quotation marks. If the title-within-a-title would normally be enclosed in quotation marks, keep the quotation marks. Use sentence-style capitalization (see above) within the quoted titles.

However, when a quotation is used as the entire main title of a book, do not enclose it in quotation marks.

Italicized terms. When an italicized title includes terms normally italicized in text, such as species names or names of ships, set the terms in roman type.

Question marks and exclamation points. When a title or a subtitle ends with a question mark or an exclamation point, no other punctuation follows.

OLDER TITLES. For titles of works published in the eighteenth century or earlier, retain the original punctuation and spelling, but change the capitalization to sentence style (see above). If the title is very long, you may shorten it, giving enough information for readers to find the full title in a library or publisher's catalog. Indicate omissions in such titles by three ellipsis dots within a title. If the omission comes at the end of a title, use four dots (three ellipsis dots and a period; see 25.3.2).

NON-ENGLISH TITLES. For non-English titles, follow the capitalization principles for proper nouns and adjectives within the relevant language. If you are unfamiliar with these principles, consult a reliable source.
