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.
