  1. CAPITALIZATION An Academic presentation by Dr. Nancy Agnes, Head, Technical Operations, Pubrica Group: www.pubrica.com Email: sales@pubrica.com

  2. Proper nouns and adjectives are generally capitalized, but there are two rules for dealing with words that are not unquestionably proper. • Down style favours a minimal use of capital letters; up style capitalizes much more nouns and adjectives:

  3. Some newspapers and periodicals utilize the up style, although the down style is more common in book production. • Capitalization is more than just an orthographic convention; it holds the power to transform a simple word into something significant. • With the stroke of a pen or the tap of a keyboard, the use of capital letters can elevate meaning, emphasize the importance, and lend a sense of Proofreading authority to our written language.

  4. You can save a lot of time if you ask your copyeditors coordinator or the author about capitalization after you've skimmed the manuscript and before you start working on it. • "Most authors.do not feel strongly about capitalization," according to Chicago 14, although the editor of the Cambridge University Press style handbook advises the opposite: "Many authors have strong feelings about capitalization." • Do not go too far with logic because you will end up with too many or too few capitals" (Judith Butcher, Copy-editing: The Cambridge Handbook, 2nd ed. [Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1981]).

  5. The reality may lay somewhere in the middle: most authors do not have strong feelings about capitalization; for others, capitalization is more than just a typography question; it is a matter of granting or denying significance to a phrase. • Some academic, professional, and technical norms deviate from the down-style choices demonstrated in Chicago and WIT.

  6. As a result, while your style manual should serve as a starting point, you should always be prepared to accept existing standards in the author's profession. • It is more vital to make sensible, consistent decisions than to follow every preference indicated in a general-purpose style guideline. • You should always document your capitalization selections on your style sheet so that you and others can keep track of them.

  7. Here are some pointers about the most common headaches that arise in the area of capitalization. • Personal Names and Titles • Geographical Names • Racial and Ethnic Groups • Company Names, Trademarks and Brand Names • Cyberjargon • Titles of Works • Names of Plants and Animals

  8. In the realm of grammar, capitalization is employed to mark the beginning of sentences, proper nouns, and titles. • It grants identity and individuality to people, places, and things. • Pubrica acknowledges its unique presence in our years by capitalizing on a research area. By capitalizing the name of a city or country, we recognize its distinct character and history.
