When submitting poetry to literary journals, how do you format the titles?

Do you italicize them, put them in quotes, bold, or what?

Thanks!

Oy vey! Your poem's title is not a reference or citation in a scholarly paper, is it? You may slightly increase the point size or change the font to bold or italic if you wish, although some of the on-line submission pages may not allow that.

Yeah but what is the standard. I mean what do most people do?
