How casing is handled. APA and Harvard use sentence case for article, chapter, book and page titles; MLA and Chicago use title case. The tool applies those rules automatically but preserves acronyms and words containing capital letters, and it keeps words in the built-in proper-noun list (country, language, month and similar names). If a title contains a proper noun it does not recognise, edit the field to fix the capitalisation, or type the word in the form you want and re-add the source.
