When writing a paper does the title need to be underlined or in quotations?
Do not type your title all in capital letters. Do not put quotations marks before and after the title. Do not underline the title, or put a period at the end of the title. Proper names of people and places as well as important words are capitalized in the title, but prepositions and conjunctions are normally shown in lower case letters, e.g. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The same rule applies to headings and subheadings as well. An aside to notyou311. Thank you. I wish everyone would not answer when they don’t know. There has been a lot of misinformation given in this thread.
