Italic type

  • Italic type is used for titles of dissertations, plays, TV and radio programs, podcasts, films, books, journals, magazines, newspapers, newsletters, long poems published as books, long musical works, operas, works of art, and museum exhibits.
  • Book chapters, song titles, and other sections within larger works should be placed in quotations.
  • Do not italicize commas, semicolons, and conjunctions such as “and” when they are used to separate different titles in a series.
  • Use italic type for non-English words and phrases that are not familiar to readers.
