Do you put an article title in quotes?

It depends on the context!

Here's a breakdown of when to use quotes for article titles:

No quotes:

* Formal writing: In academic papers, essays, and similar formal writing, article titles are usually *italicized* rather than put in quotes.

* Bibliographies and citations: When listing articles in a bibliography or citation, you typically italicize the title.

* Within a sentence: When referring to an article title casually within a sentence, you usually don't use quotes.

Quotes:

* Informal writing: In informal settings like blogs, emails, or social media, you might use quotes around an article title for emphasis or to indicate you're directly quoting it.

* Specific emphasis: If you want to highlight a particular word or phrase within the title, you might put that part in quotes. For example, "The Importance of 'Sleep' in Everyday Life."

General rule of thumb: If you're unsure, it's usually safer to *italicize* an article title unless you're writing in a very informal context.
