<p>If you were to talk about the name of a journal paper you submitted or someone else’s, are you supposed to put the name in quotes?</p>
<p>Hypothetically, if I had a journal paper called “ABC,” and if I were to talk about in my SOP in a sentence such as:
I wrote a journal paper entitled “ABC” reporting…</p>
<p>The ABC needs to be in quotes right?</p>
<p>I know when people list publications in a CV, the title goes in quotes. From what I remember form high school, article names are used with quotes; I’m not sure if that includes journal papers</p>

<p>In APA style, at least, journal titles do not go in quotation marks. They are in sentence case in regular formatting (no bold, no italic) with no quotes around them, like:</p>
<p>Smith, J., & Johnson, H. (2007). The title of a really awesome paper that we published. Science, 39, 65-72.</p>
<p>But when writing about it in prose, you would indeed put them in quotation marks, like:</p>
<p>In my third year in the lab, together Professor Smith and I published an article entitled “The title of a really awesome paper that we published” in the January 2007 issue of Science.</p>
<p>In my field, it’s acceptable to leave the journal article title in sentence case, but in some fields, you would capitalize the journal article title.</p>
