Use quotations around the name of your manuscript in your sentences. For most books, the AP style mandates that quotation marks should be used. Capitalize all of the principal words of the title of a manuscript.
Leave the text and font in same font as the rest of the text, if the manuscript is a reference. For books that are cataloged as reference, magazines, and newspapers, there should be no quotation marks around the title. The title should also not be italicized, bold, or underlined.
Cite the manuscript on your "References" page if required. There are different formats to cite references. One of the more common formats is the American Psychological Association (APA) format. For APA format, begin the citation with the author's last name, and initials along with any other authors. In parentheses, list the date of manuscript followed by a period. Include the title of manuscript in italics with a period. Write "Unpublished manuscript" at the end of the citation.
Use in-text citations as needed. If you are paraphrasing or using a direct quote from the manuscript, you should include in-text citation. In APA format, the author's last name and year that manuscript was written should be in parenthesis following any paraphrased information. If you are referencing a specific section of the manuscript, you should add the page number following the year. Each part should be separated by a comma. For instance, (Gray, 2008, p.33).
