I have a sample.bib with a main.tex as below, using Chicago Style. I was wondering if there is a way to see the title with all capital letters A Formula for the {E}uler Characteristic of Singular Hypersurfaces in the References. It may be the syle of the .bib as mentioned here but I was wondering if it can be changed. Many thanks in advance.

main.tex

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}

\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}

\usepackage[notes,backend=biber]{biblatex-chicago}
\bibliography{sample}

\begin{document}
\title{The Chicago Citation Style with biblatex}
\author{WriteLaTeX}
\maketitle

\section{Demonstration}

 Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. \autocite{PP95} Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

\printbibliography

\end{document}

sample.bib

@article{PP95,
  author = "Adam Parusi\'nski and Piotr Pragacz",
   title = "A formula for the {E}uler characteristic of singular hypersurfaces",
 journal = "American review",
  volume = 4,
    year = 1995,
   pages = "337-351"}

You can use the same format we used in your question yesterday for the title:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}

\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}

\usepackage[notes,backend=biber]{biblatex-chicago}

\addbibresource{sample.bib}

\usepackage{mfirstuc}
\DeclareFieldFormat{jtnoformat}{\capitalisewords{#1}}

\usepackage{xpatch}
\xpatchbibmacro{mag+news+title}{\printfield[noformat]{title}}{\printfield[jtnoformat]{title}}{}{}   

\begin{document}
\title{The Chicago Citation Style with biblatex}
\author{WriteLaTeX}
\maketitle

\section{Demonstration}

 Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. \autocite{PP95} Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

\printbibliography

\end{document}

Or if you want to have proper title case:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}

\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}

\usepackage[notes,backend=biber]{biblatex-chicago}

\addbibresource{sample.bib}

\usepackage{mfirstuc}
\MFUnocap{a}
\MFUnocap{for}
\MFUnocap{the}
\MFUnocap{of}
\DeclareFieldFormat{jtnoformat}{\capitalisewords{#1}}

\usepackage{xpatch}
\xpatchbibmacro{mag+news+title}{\printfield[noformat]{title}}{\printfield[jtnoformat]{title}}{}{}   

\begin{document}
\title{The Chicago Citation Style with biblatex}
\author{WriteLaTeX}
\maketitle

\printbibliography

\end{document}

  • Thank you very much. But, it does not work for this .bib though. should I ask a new question? @article{Butler1998, title = {{A note on political risk and the required return on foreign direct investment}}, year = {1998}, journal = {Journal of International Business Studies}, author = {Butler, Kirt C and Joaquin, Domingo Castelo}, number = {3}, pages = {599--607}, volume = {29}, publisher = {Springer}, issn = {0047-2506} } – Seyma Kalay Apr 28 '22 at 08:15

    @SeymaKalay You can't change this title, the double `{{...}}` prevent it. Double `{{...}}` explicitly are there to keep the capitalisation as it is. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Apr 28 '22 at 08:20
  • ahh now I see, it works for {...}, is there a way to make {{..}} to {...}? or any suggestions? – Seyma Kalay Apr 28 '22 at 08:25
  • @SeymaKalay By fixing your bib file? – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Apr 28 '22 at 08:27
  • Thanks very much for your solution, @samcarter. It works for me regarding article titles and journal names. But how can we tweak it to also work with book and report titles? I don't see in your code where you are specifying the target to be articles... – Daniel Jan 29 '23 at 11:37
  • @Daniel Can you please ask a new question, including a [mre] so we have a test document to start with? – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Jan 29 '23 at 11:40
