Читать книгу An EasyGuide to APA Style - Regan A. R. Gurung - Страница 29

Words used to indicate people, places, things, events, or ideas, nouns are typically the subjects or objects of a sentence. A noun can be singular or plural, which has implications for the verb used with the noun. There are many different types of nouns, but one important distinction for APA format is the proper noun, used to describe a unique person or thing. Proper nouns start with a capital letter (which also applies to APA–format citations).

Example: “The role of the Rorschach in the clinical intake exam: Impact on psychotherapy effectiveness.”

In this journal article title from a reference section, Rorschach is capitalized because it is a proper noun, referring to a specific projective test.
