This article aims to provide an understanding of APA style capitalization rules, particularly focusing on the usage of sentence case and title case.<\/span><\/p>\n APA Style employs two capitalization types for titles of works. These types are title case, where the first and major words are capitalized, and sentence case, where only the first word, the first word after a colon, and proper nouns are capitalized.<\/span><\/p>\n In <\/span>APA format<\/span><\/a>, a sentence case approach is used for general word formatting. This means that most words are in lowercase, except for proper nouns, the first word of the title or subtitle, colons, em dashes, and punctuation marks. Adopting this approach ensures a uniform and standardized appearance when <\/span>creating an APA reference list<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sentence case is applied to titles of various works in reference list entries. This includes articles, books, reports, webpages, and other types of works, irrespective of whether the original work used title case.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
