 When you have a long title, you can shorten it so that it's easier to refer to again later. To use a short title, first write the full title out and full. At the end, place your short title. Enclose the short title inside single quotation marks and round brackets. If you write the title as a part of your sentence, then add the short title in the sentence. If the short title has a footnote citation, include the short title in the footnote as well. If you only refer to the citation or title in your footnotes, then pop the short title in your footnotes. Use italics for your short title according to the rules of your source. For example, titles of cases and legislation will need to be in italics. After you shorten your title and you want to refer to it again, just use the short title without brackets or quotation marks. You can see a full list of examples of short titles including to secondary sources like books and journal articles and rule 1.1.4 of the AGLC.
