Hyphen or en-dash?

Question

What is the correct dash usage when naming a title?I have an essay with the title:*The success factors for successful e-commerce - A Linux-based e-commerce platform from an economic perspective*What is the correct dash usage between e-commerce *and* A Linux...?And should there be a space between e and A?

Answer 1

Hi! Actually, in a title the correct punctuation would be a colon [:], so it would read as follows.

"The Success Factors for Successful E-commerce: A Linux-based E-commerce Platform from an Economic Perspective"

If I may make one other suggestion as to the title, I would suggest simplifying the title to:

"The Factors for Successful E-commerce: A Linux-based E-commerce Platform from an Economic Perspective"

The usage of "Success" and "Successful" is redundant here.

Hope this helps!
