What is the proper way to cite title of an article when referencing it throughout text article?

Here's a breakdown of how to cite article titles in your text, along with important considerations:

General Rules:

* Short Titles: For shorter article titles (under 3-4 words), use quotation marks.

* Example: "The Power of Positive Thinking"

* Long Titles: For longer article titles, use only the first few words (usually 3-5) followed by an ellipsis (...).

* Example: "The Importance of Sleep for Cognitive Function..."

* Always Capitalize: The first letter of the first word and all proper nouns in the title should be capitalized.

* Consistency: Use the same citation style for all your references within the text.

Example In-Text Citations:

* Direct Quotation: "According to Smith (2023), 'The benefits of exercise are well-documented.'"

* Paraphrasing: Johnson (2022) argues that...

* Multiple Authors: Jones and Brown (2021) investigated...

* Three or More Authors: Williams et al. (2020) found that...

Note:

* The specific formatting (e.g., use of italics, abbreviations, punctuation) will depend on the citation style you are using (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago).

* Always refer to the specific style guide for detailed instructions.

Let me know if you need further clarification on any of these points or if you would like to see examples in a particular citation style.
