Do you italicize research article titles when citing them in academic papers?

Yes, you italicize the titles of research articles (and other independent works like books and journals) when citing them in academic papers using most citation styles (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago). However, you do *not* italicize the titles of chapters in books, articles in edited collections, or other smaller works within a larger publication. Those usually go in quotation marks.
