Italics

Use Italics for:

Book titles, newspapers, pamphlets, periodicals, movie titles, record albums
Foreign words that are not familiar (if it’s in a standard dictionary it doesn’t take italics.)
Songs and TV shows are not italicized; they are set off with quotation marks.

Examples:

The research will be published this week in the international journal Science.
The Wet’Suwet’en word sanikwa refers to the transformation of insects.
