Full initials that are abbreviations need a period i.e., Michael D. Ward not Michael D Ward
Do not use journal abbreviations. Make sure that all words in the title of the journal are capitalized.
Journal of Peace Research
not Journal of peace research
not J. of Peace Res.
Titles should be in environment delimiters {}
Actually, all fields should be in delimiters {}
