Yet again, ChatGPT is wrong. #2 is marginally more common than 1. Pick a standard.

There are 4 ways, but the first 2 are common.

3rd: Author initials without space or periods.
4th: There maybe books with all lower case.

All of this only applies to some languages. Some don't have periods for abbreviation or upper and lower case.
