APA 7 capitalization of reference lists
Please, update the rules when APA 7 reference lists are created. I am tired of removing italics in in-text citations and removing capitals from titles in works (in greater fear of having to add them all back later!)! Thank you all. :) (hopefully, I will pay you soon) :)
Item titles in Zotero should be stored in sentence case (that is, the first letter of the first word in upper case with everything else except proper nouns and acronyms [COVID, NASA, UK, USA, etc.] in lower case).
You can easily achieve sentence case for items you import in title case by right-clicking the title and selecting sentence case from the dropdown. You will need to edit to make the proper nouns begin with an upper case letter and also change the first character of the first word if the title begins with punctuation such as a quote. Most acronyms and mixed case words will automatically remain in the mixed case or all-caps (at least this is so in 7-beta, I no longer use 6).
edit: If you store titles in sentence-case then Zotero will properly set the case for the bibliographic style you use.
Another thing I noticed is that APA requires words after colons to be capitalized, which was not automatic. Can this be adjusted?
Thanks!
Zotero already stores sentence case as default when it's available -- you can't set it to automatically convert because the chance of introducing error (like lowercased proper nouns) is too high.
