• For the article title, capitalize only the first word of the article title and subtitle as well as any proper nouns. 
• For the journal title, capitalize all the significant words as periodical titles are considered proper nouns.

• If issue number not listed, skip.
• Double space entries. If an entry runs more than one line, indent the next line(s)
