Should I use titles e.g. Dr., PhD, MS., BS, etc the beginning of a paper along with author names? Does the rule, if any, differ for different styles e.g. APA, MLA, etc.? Is the following, to make things clearer a bit, correct?
John Doe*
*MS. Student for physical education, Faculty of Physical Education, Monsters University, X City, X countryDr John Doe**
**Assistant professor, Faculty of PE, Monsters University, X City, X Country
In APA use the name and institution only, no titles, no functions.
Your example would read:
John Doe*
* Faculty of Physical Education, Monsters University, X City, X countryJohn Doe**
** Faculty of PE, Monsters University, X City, X Country
