Emphasizing proper nouns and jargon What is the recommended way to ephasize proper nouns and jargon in academic writing?

I usually use italics to emphasize specific proper nouns (e.g., the name of a software: Gitolite). Until now, I did not emphasize technical jargon at all. However, my editor suggested to highlight jargon with double quotes (e.g., "the gauge hierarchy problem" or "spaghetti code").

Is this a good practice? If so, should I use the double quotes only for the first appearence of a jargon term?
