article title

Piece's identifying heading

Article title is a phrase used to label or identify a piece of writing, appearing at the top of essays, news stories, academic papers, and similar texts.

The term is functional rather than creative—it describes what something is called rather than characterizing the work itself: The article title should accurately reflect your content.

In bibliographic contexts, article titles follow specific formatting rules for citations.
