When do the in-text citations, titles of books and reports if used, as author must be italicized. However, titles of articles, chapters, and web pages are in quotation marks. APA calls for capitalizing important words in titles when they are written in the text, but not when they are written in reference lists.

A similar study was done of students learning to format research papers (“Using Citations,” 2001).
