Novels and long plays are underlined, whereas novellas, plays with one act or less, poems, etc. are in quotations.

When referencing a novel the quote is put in quotation marks, the title is italicized, and the authors name is put at the end of the quote with the original publication date (found on the inside cover) if you are only using the reference once. For example (Twain, Mark 1899). Otherwise, if you will be referencing the novel multiple times, you can number each different reference and make a reference page at the end of your paper.

You only need one of these, and for the record, the underlining is basically a proofreader’s indication that the underlined text should be in italics.
My personal preference is for italics because quotation marks can cause problems with quotes or apostrophes within the book title.

All books are underlined, cite also the author, pulblisher, volume, edition date.

Italics
P.S. “suenami_98” is right. Typesetters, printers, ad agency art directors, etc. underline typewritten text to indicate italics.

I’m not quite sure, but I would underline it and/or put it in quotations.
Hope I helped 🙂
