APA Style (7th ed.)

Use plain text in sentence case, in which all words are lowercase except for words following end punctuation (periods, question marks, exclamation marks) or colons, proper nouns, and the first word of a title or subtitle, for the following resources: 

  • articles, chapters, and other works that represent a part of a larger work, such as a book or journal

And use sentence case with italics for the following resources:

  • book titles
  • web page titles

Use italicized text in title case, in which every word is capitalized except for conjunctions, articles, and prepositions under for letters, for the following resources:

  • Journal, newspaper, magazine, and other periodical titles 

Do not italicize or capitalize additional publication information within the title such as the edition or volume number (American Psychological Association, 2020, p. 290); abbreviate and include the volume or edition of the resource in parentheses immediately after the title and before the period (e.g., Publication manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.)).
