Write “A in bibliography but see” a

Question

I'm writing my bibliography and in a title I wrote the following code:

@inproceedings
{
  R14,
  Author = {},
  Booktitle = {},
  Title = {`` A fully integrated..."},
  Year = {}
}

But when I see this reference it show like this: "a fully integrated..." How can I achieve to have "A fully integrated..."?

Answer 1

The bibliography style you choose should be what determines whether and how things like titles should be capitalized. This helps make the same .bib file be reusable in different documents. However, you need to help things along by protecting things that need to stay capitalized by putting things like proper nouns and acronyms in braces. In the case of the example above, one approach would be:

@inproceedings{R14,
  Author = {},
  Booktitle = {},
  Title = {``{A} fully integrated...''},
  Year = {}
}

(I assume the problem in this case is due to the title entry starting with a backtick (i.e., `) rather than the letter A.)

Note also that if you are using biblatex, you have more options regarding the use of quotation marks in titles (e.g., \mkbibquote{...}).

Answer 2

Building on Jon's answer, I think a slightly easier way to do it is to write something like

Title = {{This is your title and it involves CAPITAL letters and NaCl}},

is a lot easier to do. Has the exact same effect as individually bracing each capital letter in your title.
