The main considerations when writing your dissertation title from a style perspective are: (a) capitalisation in titles and subtitles (b) quotation marks (c) numbers and (d) hyphenated compounds.

As such, we have based this style guide on the requirements for titles set out by the APA style guide, 6th edition. To our knowledge, the APA style does not distinguish between titles for articles as a whole and dissertations.
