If your professional life requires adherence to AMA style, you may have gotten lost in the weeds styling hyphenated compounds in titles. No capitalization after a hyphen if a prefix or a suffix, if both parts are considered a single word (requiring a field trip to Merriam-Webster), if the compound is temporary, or if the parts do not carry equal weight.

I have long wondered how parts of a compound carry weight, which isn’t to say that I don’t like the idea . As a practical suggestion, though, it lacks a little, uh, practicality .
