AB - We first examine conditions implying monotonicity of the period function for potential systems with a center at 0 (in the whole period annulus). We also present a short comparative survey of the different criteria. We apply these results to quadratic Loud systems $(L_{D,F})$ for various values of the parameters D and F. In the case of noncritical periods we propose an algorithm to test the monotonicity of the period function for $(L_{D,F})$. Our results may be viewed as a contribution to proving (or disproving) a conjecture of Chicone and Jacobs.
