[Tex/LaTex] titlesec and bibliography

bibliographiescapitalizationsectioningtitlesec

I use titlesec to capitalize and display the chapter title at the center. Everything is fine until I get to the bibliography, the word 'bibliography' is not capitalized. Here is an example

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{report}
\usepackage{cite}

\usepackage{titlesec}
 \titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{1in}{20pt}
 \titleformat{\chapter}[display]
   {\centering\normalfont\normalsize}{\MakeUppercase{\chaptertitlename} \thechapter}{0pt}{\small}

 \titleformat{\section}
     {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{}
 \titleformat{\subsection}
     {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}{\thesubsection}{1em}{}
 \titleformat{\subsubsection}
     {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}{\thesubsubsection}{1em}{}

\begin{document}
\chapter{Chapter 1}
This is a workingn example
\begin{thebibliography}{100}

\bibitem{Niesen}
Niesen, Social networks/blogs now account for one in every four and a half
  minutes online,
  http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/global/social-media-accounts-for-22-perc%
ent-of-time-online/, report (June 2010).

\bibitem{AirwideSolutions}
AirwideSolutions, Mobile social networking and the rise of the smart machines -

  http://www.airwidesolutions.com/whitepapers/MobileSocialNetworking.pdf, white
  paper (November 2010).
\end{thebibliography}

\end{document}

Thanks.

There's no reason why "Bibliography" should be capitalized with your settings. You are only applying \MakeUppercase to \chaptername (i.e., to the word "Chapter") and not to the actual titles. If you want to have the word "Bibliography" capitalized you can use the etoolbox package to patch the \thebibliography command:

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{report}
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{etoolbox}

\patchcmd{\thebibliography}{\chapter*{\bibname}}{\chapter*{\MakeUppercase{\bibname}}}{}{}

\usepackage{titlesec}
 \titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{1in}{20pt}
 \titleformat{\chapter}[display]
   {\centering\normalfont\normalsize}{\MakeUppercase{\chaptertitlename} \thechapter}{0pt}{\small}

 \titleformat{\section}
     {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{}
 \titleformat{\subsection}
     {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}{\thesubsection}{1em}{}
 \titleformat{\subsubsection}
     {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}{\thesubsubsection}{1em}{}

\begin{document}

[Tex/LaTex] titlesec – set top margin for the appendix and bibliography

In your example, the space before the appendix chapters and the unnumbered bibliography is the same as for the main chapters (presumably 1in, as you specified in \titlespacing*). Should you need a different space starting with the appendix chapters (though that seems inconsistent), issue another \titlespacing* immediately after \appendix in the document body.

Note that in the "before code" argument of \titleformat, "[t]he very last command can take an argument, which is the title text" (manual, p. 4). That is, you may use \MakeUppercase and do without writing chapter names capitalized. Also note that (within titlesec commands) you should replace \centering with \filcenter to ensure correct left and right spacing.

\documentclass[12pt]{report}

\usepackage[doublespacing]{setspace}

\usepackage{titlesec}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{1in}{20pt}
\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
    {\filcenter\normalfont\normalsize}{\MakeUppercase{\chaptertitlename} \thechapter}{0pt}
    {\small\MakeUppercase}

\begin{document}

\chapter{Introduction}

\appendix
\titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{0.5in}{20pt}

\chapter{Codes}

\begin{thebibliography}{100}
\bibitem{Niesen}
Niesen.
\newblock Social networks/blogs now account for one in every four and a half minutes online.
\newblock {\em http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/global/social-media-accounts-for-22-percent-of-time-online/}.

[Tex/LaTex] titlesec formatting

Some thing like this?

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
    {\filcenter\normalfont\Large\bfseries}
    {\MakeUppercase{\chaptertitlename}\ \thechapter}
    {20pt}
    {}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{0.7in}{20pt}

I didn't understand double space to some extent. I have used 20pt, but you may use \baselineskip instead of 20pt.

\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{report}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[margin=1in,showframe]{geometry}
\usepackage{titlesec}


\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
    {\filcenter\normalfont\Large\bfseries}
    {\MakeUppercase{\chaptertitlename}\ \thechapter}
    {20pt}
    {}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{0.7in}{20pt}

\begin{document}


\chapter{INTRODUCTION}

This is the first section.

Lorem  ipsum  dolor  sit  amet,  consectetuer  adipiscing
elit.   Etiam  lobortisfacilisis sem.  Nullam nec mi et
neque pharetra sollicitudin.  Praesent imperdietmi nec ante.
Donec ullamcorper, felis non sodales...
