In APA 7th edition papers, the title of an article should appear at the top of the page and should be centred (i.e., not bold, italicized, underlined, or in quotation marks).
The title should use headline-style capitalization, which means that the first letter of the first word is capitalized, along with the first letters of all major words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns). Every other word should be lowercase.
Keep it as short as possible. Avoid unnecessary words and punctuation.

When writing a paper in APA 7th edition format, the title of an article should be italicized, and the article should be followed by the author’s name and the year of publication.

Here is an example of a correctly cited article title in APA 7th edition:

Lifespan Development of Memory and Cognition (Weinstock & Amari, 2019).

If your article has more than one author, you should list all their names:

The Role of Emotion Regulation in Adaptive Behaviour (Bischop et al., 2019).

You should also make sure that the title is written in Title Case, meaning the first word, proper nouns and main verbs are in capitals. You might want to review the APA’s official guidelines for additional information:
