8 - Why are my APA citations from KnightCite not capitalized?

The APA manual of style calls for titles to be capitalized in a very particular way. Only the first word of the title, first word of the subtitle (after the colon), any proper nouns, and acronyms should be capitalized. Because of programming restraints, there's no way for KnightCite to consistently distinguish what is intended as a proper or common noun, so your title casing was left as is. Please take note of this rule and apply it to the citation after copying it into your reference list.

9 - What should I do when I forget my password?

If you previously had an account but have forgotten your username and password, we can reset your password and send your login credentials to you via e-mail.
