USING ACRONYMS IN THE TITLE A general rule is to always spell out acronyms. If your reader doesn't know what an acronym means they are more likely to discard your paper.

There is common abbreviation of senior: sr. If you want to make the abbreviation plural, simply add an “s”.

Titles of full works like books or newspapers should be italicized. Titles of short works like poems, articles, short stories, or chapters should be put in quotation marks. Titles of books that form a larger body of work may be put in quotation marks if the name of the book series is italicized.

Punctuation for Abbreviations: Names and Titles If a person's full name is abbreviated, use only first letters without periods: JFK (John F. Kennedy), LBJ (Lyndon B. Johnson), MJ (Michael Jordan). Abbreviate and capitalize junior or senior if it follows an individual's name.

In titles or headings When a term used in a title may be more commonly known under its abbreviated form, its abbreviation may be added in parentheses after the fully written term (e.g. 'A study of the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations for hygiene').

Use the following abbreviations for non-military titles preceding or following personal names: Dr. (Doctor) Esq. (Esquire) Hon. (Honorable) Jr. (Junior) Mr. Mrs. Ms. Messrs. (plural of Mr. )

Italicize the titles of works that are larger, like the titles of books, albums, and movies. For shorter works, like a journal article title, song title, or a poem title, use quotation marks.

The MLA Style Center If you use an acronym in place of an italicized title, italicize the acronym, as shown in the example below: In his recent book, Ammon Shea recounts his experience reading through the Oxford English Dictionary (OED).
