    APA's Publication Manual () indicates that, in the body of your paper, you should use italics for the titles of:

    • "books, reports, webpages, and other stand-alone works" (p.

      )

    • periodicals (journals, magazines, newspapers)

    Beyond APA's specific examples, know that certain types of titles are almost always written in italics. 

    A general rule of thumb is that within the text of a paper, italicize the title of complete works but put quotation marks around titles of parts within a complete work.
