What should be in italics on a work cited page?
Titles of books, pieces of artwork, names of newspapers and magazines, and titles of plays or long poems if they are published as a single volume.

And if your word-processing program, or typewriter, or long-hand script do not allow italics, these titles should be underlined. Quotation marks for these titles are not correct.
Thanks!
You're welcome.
On a Works Cited page, any titles of sources should be formatted in italics. This includes the titles of books, journals, magazines, newspapers, websites, films, TV shows, and other standalone works of art or literature.
To correctly format a Works Cited entry in italics, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify the source type: Determine what type of source you are citing. Is it a book, an article, a website, a film, etc.?
2. Find the title: Locate the title of the source within your citation. It is usually found at the beginning, or it may be in the middle or end depending on the source type.
3. Format the title: Once you have identified the title, use italics to format it. This means slanting the letters of the title to the right. You can either manually italicize the title using formatting options in your word processor or use quotation marks if you don't have access to italics.
4. Maintain proper capitalization: It's important to note that when formatting titles, you still need to adhere to the appropriate rules of capitalization. Generally, significant words within the title (e.g., nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs) should be capitalized, while conjunctions, articles, and prepositions are typically lowercase unless they are the first or last word in the title.
By following these steps, you can correctly format the titles of your sources in italics on a Works Cited page.
