The article title should be lowercase unless it is typically written uppercase when used in a regular sentence. So: computational complexity theory; but American Chemical Society. Unless there is a compelling reason not to, articles about people should begin with the person's first name first, i.e. Albert Einstein.

The common names for things should be used in preference to the recondite or obscure, although this may have a few exceptions.
