titlesec and bibliography

Question

I use titlesec to capitalize and display the chapter title at the center. Everything is fine until I get to the bibliography, the word 'bibliography' is not capitalized. Here is an example

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{report}
\usepackage{cite}

\usepackage{titlesec}
 \titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{1in}{20pt}
 \titleformat{\chapter}[display]
   {\centering\normalfont\normalsize}{\MakeUppercase{\chaptertitlename} \thechapter}{0pt}{\small}

 \titleformat{\section}
     {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{}
 \titleformat{\subsection}
     {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}{\thesubsection}{1em}{}
 \titleformat{\subsubsection}
     {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}{\thesubsubsection}{1em}{}

\begin{document}
\chapter{Chapter 1}
This is a workingn example
\begin{thebibliography}{100}

\bibitem{Niesen}
Niesen, Social networks/blogs now account for one in every four and a half
  minutes online,
  http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/global/social-media-accounts-for-22-perc%

\end{thebibliography}

\end{document}

Thanks.

Answer 1

There's no reason why "Bibliography" should be capitalized with your settings. You are only applying \MakeUppercase to \chaptername (i.e., to the word "Chapter") and not to the actual titles. If you want to have the word "Bibliography" capitalized you can use the etoolbox package to patch the \thebibliography command:

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{report}
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{etoolbox}

\patchcmd{\thebibliography}{\chapter*{\bibname}}{\chapter*{\MakeUppercase{\bibname}}}{}{}

\usepackage{titlesec}
 \titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{1in}{20pt}
 \titleformat{\chapter}[display]
   {\centering\normalfont\normalsize}{\MakeUppercase{\chaptertitlename} \thechapter}{0pt}{\small}

 \titleformat{\section}
     {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{}
 \titleformat{\subsection}
     {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}{\thesubsection}{1em}{}
 \titleformat{\subsubsection}
     {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}{\thesubsubsection}{1em}{}
