For instance, if the title of the article is “Walmart Inc.: Exploring larger corporations”, then the period would be included after the abbreviation and a colon would be included after the period. However, abbreviations would usually not be included in titles, so for a title of your own work, we suggest not using an abbreviation. As well, a period isn’t needed after acronyms, and APA recommends not using them with a couple of exception, such as when using “U.S.” for United States and “U.K.” for United Kingdom when they are used as adjectives (but not when they are nouns). <br />Walden Writing Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15436616060065528527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120445675003001381.post-62975065688905311832019-07-04T23:51:55.801-04:002019-07-04T23:51:55.801-04:00In regards to the title of an article, if there is...In regards to the title of an article, if there is a colon in the title, and the last word before the colon is an abbreviation, what is the proper use of period and colon?<br />Would it be '..... Walmart Inc.: The dominant ....', or is there an exception and it is formatted differently? Thank you. Greg BrownAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
