20 - 70 List authorList List of the authors.
2. TITL
* TITL specifies the title of the reference. This is used for the title of a journal article, chapter, or part
of a book. The TITL line is omitted if the author(s) listed in authorList wrote the entire book
(or other work) listed in REF and no section of the book is being cited.
* If an article is in a language other than English and is printed with an alternate title in English,
the English language title is given, followed by a space and then the name of the language (in its
English form, in square brackets) in which the article is written.
* If the title of an article is in a non-Roman alphabet the title is transliterated.
* The actual title cited is reconstructed in a manner identical to other continued records, i.e., trailing
blanks are discarded and the continuation line is concatenated with a space inserted.
* A line cannot end with a hyphen. A compound term (two elements connected by a hyphen) or
chemical names which include a hyphen must appear on a single line, unless they are too long to fit
on one line, in which case the split is made at a normally-occurring hyphen. An individual word cannot
be hyphenated at the end of a line and put on two lines. An exception is when there is a repeating
compound term where the second element is omitted, e.g., "DOUBLE- AND TRIPLE-RESONANCE".
In such a case the non-completed word "DOUBLE-" could end a line and not
alter reconstruction of the title.
